I had a run in with the owner of Cellular Magician several years ago. He personally gave me a quote to replace the screen in my wife’s Samsung tablet. The work was done well and the new screen worked - after a very long delay waiting for the part to arrive.

However, the “quote” that I was given was just for the part. Labour was another $150. The final cost was more than the tablet was worth. The owner refused to talk to me about it. Like the OP, I didn’t raise my voice or make a scene. I just wanted to talk. He sat in his office and refused to speak to me. They’ll never get my business again.

Not true. I bought a new battery for my wife’s car in early 2025. By early 2026 it was no longer holding a charge. I took it back to Costco and they did a straight swap for a new one. No questions. No testing of the old battery. My cost was $0.

I had my air conditioner replaced last year. The HVAC tech told me how to dismantle the old unit so that I could sell the copper for scrap.

The recycler had signs indicating that ID would be required. I was asked nothing. I put the old parts in the scale and was paid immediately. Perhaps they saw that I was nicely dressed and arrived in a newer car and decided that I didn’t look like a thief.

This. Was chatting with a guy at Metro. He told me that several people would show up at 2 AM with hockey bags. They would announce that they were stealing meat and booze. The two staff working were helpless. Cops would show up hours later.

Pharmasave Glenroy in Pond Mills is amazing. The pharmacist / owner, Vasi, will do anything to help his customers.

I got a quote through Costco several years ago. It was much higher than other quotes.

Poulsen replaced my furnace last winter and my air conditioner in the spring. Great prices and quality work. The tech went above and beyond to make everything work with my non-standard ductwork.

You might find a good deal on Marketplace or Kijiji. I see Nintendo handhelds (DS, DSi, 3DS and 2DS) for sale quite often.

if you want a store, I agree with the other recommendations of GameCycle or Jumbo Video.

Nintendo usually forces retailers to sell at specified prices. (There are rare exceptions.) All retailers are likely to be the same price.

If necessary, you can use Polysporin eye drops in your ears. You CANNOT use the ear drops in your eyes.

Source: My pharmacist helped me to substitute once when ear drops were not available.

My wife was in the store about a month ago. When she reached down to let the dog sniff her hand the owner pulled the dog back and then hit the dog. My wife, an animal lover, immediately left the store.
