Disappointed with the customer service

Thank you for your feedback, Claire. We would like to clarify the situation so everything is transparent and accurate.
Your device was first brought to us on 3 April 2025 with liquid damage. We carried out a full clean, and once you confirmed, we replaced the screen. The phone was collected on 4 April in working condition, and we advised at the time that liquid-damaged devices can develop faults later, including potential issues with the battery.
You returned on 30 September 2025 for a battery replacement. The battery was fitted, the phone passed all tests, and you collected it the next day with no issues reported. Around 30 minutes after collection, you contacted us with concerns, but as the shop had already closed, we could not check the device until the following day. The photo provided showed edited lines added afterwards, but we still invited you to return so we could inspect the device. You later informed us the screen was working normally again.
There was then no further contact for a month until 2 November, when you booked online to report issues with the mute switch and screen touch. These issues were not present when the device was collected in October. We asked you to bring the device in for diagnostics, but you let us know you were unwell and unable to attend. Diagnostics are essential, especially for a device with previous liquid damage, as faults can progress over time.
You booked another appointment on 26 November and attended. We explained that diagnostics can take up to 24 hours and that we needed the device left with us to identify the root cause of the issues. You chose not to leave the device, which meant we could not begin any testing.
We also noticed that a one star review was posted two hours before your appointment, before we had even been given the chance to assess the device. Your one star review does not represent our customer service accurately, as we have made every effort to assist you and have repeatedly asked for the device to be returned so we can carry out a full check.
We are still willing to run full diagnostics and help you find a solution, but we can only do this once the device is left with us. This is the only way to determine the cause of the problems accurately and give you a proper resolution.
Thanks
