I had to get my iPad Screen Replacement done after my iPad Mini screen got shattered. All I had to do was give a missed call to iTweak. Next day it was picked up and the day after delivered at doorstep, good as new. Excellent service!

Quick and Reliable. The problem was rectified immediately by just looking at the device carefully which even Apple Service Center people figured out wrongly. The device was opened in front me and the damage was shown, it was battery issue.
