1UP Games and Repairs in other cities:
I wish I was more of a gamer so I could spend more time in this store! Everyone is so helpful and kind, but also wicked smart about all of the things. Plus, not condescending about cleaning chocolate milk off your xbox, or fixing your phone screen, because life happens.
Came to this place a few times with my partner and I love it! The workers are super kind and they have a pretty solid amount of games. I can say jrpgs are a little tough to find but that is going to happen considering the pandemic, those games are perfect stay at home, grind games. Cant wait to see what other games they get in the future!
I dropped off system for repair and was quoted a great price for repair. While I was in I found some games and other merchandise also at great prices! To top it off the staff was very friendly and helpful. I would 10/10 recommend for all repairs and game/accessory buying.
Customer service was wonderful and they have a wide selection. John was extremely helpful in repairing my phone screen in a timely and professional manor.I had found out that they were highly in approval of Mario Paint. Mario Paint is really good game and I believe on of the most influential games of our time. I was glad to find people who had the same sentiment.
I took my nieces Ipad here because she accidently broke a part of the charger off in the charging port, I expected to have to pay something for them to extract the piece from the Ipad... Nope the technician did it for free and within seconds. I truly appreciated the quick and friendly service and will definitely be returning as a future customer!
Not a large selection and absolutely absurdly low how much they are willing to pay for things. They are making at least 400% profit based on how they do business. Would suggest finding any other similar store for your business. Have also brought things in to be fixed only for more issues to come back.
Weve used them many times to purchase games and controllers. Also they are great about fixing items. Weve had phones and game controllers fixed here as well as sent many people in to do the same. Great customer service, no hidden fees, work they stand behind with warranty. Great store. Never have I let unsatisfied or feeling slighted.
I brought in my wifes series 1 Apple Watch to have a battery replaced. I was assured that it would be fixed in two weeks time. After the two weeks were up I called and they stated that they were waiting on shipments of parts from FedEx around Christmas time. Still understandable. They said the battery would in within a few days. A few days later I went in the store in person and the tech stated he had a couple phones to fix but the watch would be done by the time the store closed at 8 that day. I got a voicemail shortly after stating that the tech broke a ribbon cable in the watch and would need to order a replacement at no cost and the watch would be fixed the following week. A week later I called and got the run around, they said its intricate soldering and we have to have the owner do the work but it will be done tomorrow. I never received a phone call the following day stating it was done. The following day I called and they said it was ready to be picked up but they had to just order a new watch. I went into the store to pick up the *new* watch and retrieve what was left of the old watch. At that point the tech asked to keep the parts from the original. I told him, No, this is the watch I brought you and you couldnt fix it. Ill keep my parts. He goes on to say that they are out of money on the deal and could possibly use the remaining parts. I took the watch and what was left of the original and left. I will never go back for any repairs.
I love these guys. Ive gone to them twice for phone screen repairs and both times, theyve done a great job at a great price. These guys are really respectable and honest. They run a good business and will always be upfront and polite about any issues you might have with your electronics.
This store is so helpful. I come here for all of my gaming needs. When I check out, all the cashiers and I have conversations about the game I get. They are really helpful giving opinions about games, and recommend other game series that are related towards the game I get. I have been going here for over four years, and they have almost every game Ive ever wanted. The cashiers are really friendly and the service is exceptional. The prices arent TOO bad, and I pay less than what Id pay at some major game retailer.
This is one of the best game stores in the Bay City area. If not thee best. From trade-in percentages for older stuff, that you may be getting rid of; to repairs and getting stuff fixed in an acceptable amount of time. The store is stocked with everything from Atari to Xbox One with so much in between. The staff is incredibly friendly and they try their best to make sure you are happy with your visit! Overall, great local store
You know I brought in a working iphone 6s and left with a broken iphone 6s all because I wanted a new battery in it but I still go here for games so I gues Im just saying I like buying games from them but not geting anymore repairs from them. You know I did give them 3 stars but know i give them 5 cause just the same day i started talking to them about a laptop and the fixed my problem a year later and gave me a store credit towards fixing my laptop thank you to all of the workers and managers at 1up games.
This is my preferred game store. Always impressed with the service and selection of vintage games. They offer competative pricing to Game Stop and is much more convenient if in the market for vintage games. They also have a fair selection of newer games but, they have one of the best selections of vintage games and systems I have seen.
As far as used games, systems, and accessories; this store does a fine job of having a decent selection and comparable prices. For their repair services, they are exceptional. I have now had my PS4 HDMI Port replaced, PS3 YROD repaired, and a laptop that would not start repaired. All prices were much lower than any other store quoted me and I received the systems back in a reasonable timeframe. The employees are easy to work with and friendly. All repairs were backed by a 90 day warranty. Very pleased with the services.
Went in to purchase an internal hard drive for my PS4 Pro and was told that they wouldnt be able to sell it to me because it was for other PS4s when they came in for repair. Only way would be for them to work on it. Really? So my hard drive needs to be replaced and you want to charge me to replace my hard drive that I can REPLACE MYSELF, (backup data, remove screw, replace hard drive, reinstall and reinstall software)and to wait 2 weeks OR pay an additional $20 on top of the added fee on top of the extra cost?? Nope, never again. Ill shop on Amazon and get it in 2-3 days and for less than what you would have charged. Poor business practices. A couple/few $$ over cost of the drive? I would have paid you for it.. Better than nothing..
Great atmosphere, largest game selection in the tri-cities and best of all a great staff. I had the owner fix my PS3 YLOD a few years back before he even opened the storr and won over my loyalty right from there. A great small local business with excellent customer service.
Really Amazing Game Store!I am happy this gaming store is in Bay City! This store is so much better then GameStop due to the prices and the people who work there. The people who work there actually have some knowledge in video gaming and care about it. The game prices are accurate, to the market and if you sell video games there they WILL give you the price you diserve! This place is the best I will not ever go to another GameStop again!
I literally can’t keep a screen for very long on my iphone, so i’ve had my screens changed on multiple iphones multiple times.. and some places i’d get my phone back, it’d be glitchy and just janky and they’d refuse to fix them! but 1up games has always came through for me, they correct any errors, i’ve only had atleast 10 replacement screens from them through out my iphones lol. they all worked great until i cracked them. heheh. one had a glitch which may have been due to a sensor issue and they replaced my sensor just incase for free! but today i had to replace the screen on this phone for the 4th time and Justin helped me with the disablement due to the screen hitting its own buttons when cracked and it’s was a pain in the rear end to get it out of disablement and justin was a great repair tech, very calm and nice about it. people like this are what make a business great. he was awesome and the screen is better than ever now! good service, good prices and even a backed warranty if any glitching does occur! 5 stars for 1up games!
I love going to 1up games. They make you want to come back. I bought halo 2 from there and it didnt work the guy that sold it to me said he remembered selling it to me and gave me another copy no charge it was quick and easy. He even went out of his way to play the games audio on the systems loud so I could hear it from the back room just to show me it worked. I will definitely be going back
Been there twice. First time woman was very rude and didnt offer any info when I asked questions. Seemed like she didnt care. The 2nd visit was much better as far as customer service BUT, we purchased a game, went all the way home only to have it not work. We had to run all the way back across town to return it and try to exchange it. They didnt care about that. Shouldnt games be checked BEFORE you sell them? LUCKILY they had one because even though it was their error, they offer no refunds. If they hadnt had another copy, I would have gotten store credit maybe? Overall, I wont be going back.
All the workers here are fair understanding know their stuff and are always willing to lend a hand. Gotta give credit to them for handling tough situations very well and professionally. I personnally go there almost every 2 or 3 weeks to make a purchase. Worthy investment no doubt
HORRIFIC COMPANY.I ordered a sega game greatest heavyweights. It wasnt working so I emailed them to let them know and they said clean the inside with a Q-Tip.I used 3 lysol wipes to clean the outside.. Full of dirt... and I used 10 qtips it was full of dirt and it still isnt working.. WHO SELLS THESE THINGS THIS DIRTY???? I thought they tested it before they sold it. NO I AM NOT A COMPETITOR. THIS IS THE MOST DISGUSTING SERVICE EVER. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!!!!!
Went there COUNTLESS times to get my iphone 5s screen fixed... all worked for a FEW days then started acted crazy again. not to mention i sat my phone on my desk and it cracks in the corner, cheap quality. so 180 dollars down the drain... DO NOT GO HERE. they dont know what theyre doing.
The only reason to buy video games in the tri city! Great selection, and dont even get me going on the repair department! extremely professional, knowledgable and always willing to go.above and beyond on everything!theres a reason this place is called 1up, because it does just that over every other store like it!
Went in to get charging port replaced. They broke the screen and the back. They had to order the parts to fix this, then when parts come in a week later they do a bad job of fixing my phone. I was told that the color film just comes off the phone nothing they can do. When a place says they can fix something, I should get it back fixed and in the same condition it was left in. Very disappointed!!!!!
They did not ask me to give them a five-star but if you need help for reviews for finding certain games best option they do not like you to record in there I was making a vlog but they usually have everything you need look up my review name killingerk you can find my YouTube channel I was a try to tell people our goal here but didnt work out they said I couldnt record

2022-06-25I absolutely LOVE this store. It is the only place ill purchase anything for gaming. But tonight was different, it went from my normal good visit to an EXCEPTIONAL visit. I wish I had gotten the name of the person who was helping me because they were absolutely wonderful and a hell of a salesman! I went with the intention of getting one game but I left with 3 and a strategy guide lol 10/10

2022-05-31After dropping my new phone two feet- the screen shattered. I went to my carrier store where I purchased the phone two weeks before to see if they could help. I hadnt bought insurance so they couldnt help me. They did suggest buying a less expensive phone online. I mentioned that heard of screen repair. They suggested Mr. Frog or 1UP Games. I didnt realize that 1UP was a repair shop for various game systems, phones. As I went there and they ordered the part and said it would be in tomorrow. I then took my phone in and my screen was fixed in one hour. It was such a relief as had a medical video appointment in a few days. I have to say how much I appreciate 1UP for fixing my phone, dealing with my anxiety over it! They arent just 1UP but, are #1 as far as Im concerned. Great customer service, and communication! Thank You, thank you.🙂

2022-07-18I’m grateful to find this place. They fixed my Nintendo switch within a day. The only down side was that I had to pay extra fee for them to get it done. But otherwise the wait would have been one to two weeks. Overall it was worth it.

2022-05-19I have used this place several times in the past (to repair and/or get diagnosis of XBox repairs, get data off from hard drives, fix phone port, and the latest a Windows installation issue. They have always given me awesome service and been straight forward with the repairs that were required. I would highly recommend this place!

2022-06-29My weekend estimated repair ended up taking almost a month. Very good quality repair, but I wish that they had provided at least a simple text telling me that it would be delayed.

2022-02-23Took my phone here and even though it wasnt able to be fixed they gave me the name and number of a place that could fix it. I also come here for retro games and new games for a decent price. The condition of some items are used to new with cds and DVDs being relatively well displayed by system.
