I came to see you because some software completely paralysed my MacPro and I couldn’t do anything. My Mac is my business, all my data and my e-mail correspondence is on this device. Therefore, I needed help quickly and reliably. Which you were able to provide me with. Thanks again for your excellent and trust-worthy service and explaining to me everything in plain ‘non-geek’ language and for repairing my computer, which performs better than ever before. It’s also good to know, who to cal… Marina, Ludlow, Shropshire

Since you upgraded my old MacBook Pro with a new SSD its running like a dream, so fast and slick, thank you so much. Yvonne, Walford, Shropshire

I had some major problems with the logic board of my MacBook Pro. Apple wanted more than the cost of a new one to fix the problem. Contacted Keith who sorted it all out, replaced the logic board, saved my data and was a great help and all at a more realistic price than Apple quoted. He also changed the screen on my ipod touch which I thought was impossible. Any Apple related problems then Keith should be the first person you contact. Repair MacBook Pro 15″, temp repair to logic and then replace… John, Loggerheads, Staffordshire

21.5″ iMac updated OS & cleared trojans & viruses. Mostly innocuous for Macs. General software clean.

Jamie, Church Stretton, Shropshire

I recently had a new hard drive installed. An excellent service, very quick turnaround of the job, and excellent value for money. I have no hesitation in recommending Keith at Appel! 13″ MacBook new HD installed & transfer of data Joe, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

My iMac developed a problem with coloured banding on the screen. Quickly discovered that it was the logic board coupled with the video card. Not only was that fixed very promptly but Keith cleaned up software which was not compatible and also installed an anti Malware program and removed Adware/Malware. Disabled an app which was hogging resources at boot up. Now I have a much sleeker operating system. Very highly recommended. Keith, Llangollen

Had a problem – dead MacBook Air 2012 caused by my amateur efforts over 4 hour to repair it It was working ok when I started. Rang Keith. Took it to the workshop. An hour later. Problem solved. Well the problem I created was solved. Mac working but the new part would have been more than I wanted to pay (I am so tight I squeak when I walk) so reinstated. Now 12 months on still working fine. Total cost about £40. Amazing service at any price but this cheap astonishing. Was able to watch whi…

Just thought I would email to say thank you for the excellent service I experienced with Appel. I have found it difficult to find a support business that will give me honest and accurate advice whenever I have technical issues relating to my Apple Mac machines, so finding you and your company has been like a breath of fresh air. I found your company was fast, efficient and extremely good value for money. iMac 20” install new HD & recover all data from failed HD Simon, mktg & design co, Tettenhall, West Midlands

“I was extremely impressed with both the speed of response / service and the level of communication from Keith. I was kept in the loop with the problem, the diagnosis and the process of repair. Keith would be the first port of call for any further problems I may have. Intel iMac failing to start up fixed combination data corruption and hardware fault. Crewe home office user

My Apple iMac died this morning… However, Keith Cox at https://www.appel.me.uk in Wellington was able to replace the power supply on the spot and save the day (and my sanity)! I thoroughly recommend him for any Mac problems & repairs. Jenny, Cressage, Shropshire

The mac is flying! Great service mate. RAM upgrade MacBook Pro Malcolm, Telford, Shropshire

Very reasonably priced and very comprehensive test of my iMac which allowed me to make an informed decision about its future. Keith Cox at Appel would always be my first choice for repairs/maintenance/upgrades of Apple products. 27″ iMac with USB fault David, Leominster, Herefordshire

Wow!! What exceptionally wonderful local service today! I accidentally cracked the face of my ipad (which is invaluable to me) last evening … I found Appel’s address online this morning, spoke to you and delivered my ipad to you at around 11.30am. at 5pm I had a telephone call saying new glass front has been fitted, ipad checked and all in working order and ready for collection. Kathy, Telford, Shropshire

Great service. A little hiccup from supplier parts, but resolved in a timely fashion and all is well. Overall, satisfied with the entire experience. MacBook Pro 13″ data recovery & replace HD Jag, Stafford, Staffordshire

MacBook repair sent to us from Hertfordshire. Main hard drive has physical damage and needs to go to laboratory for clean room recovery. New drive fitted with OS & software. Ready to ship back to client.

27″ iMac 2011 went from fractured screen graphics to blue or black screen. Usual signs of video card failure which costs over £400 to replace. Advised client there was a recall on this model & to take to AppleStore who would repair for free. One happy client!

The customer service I received from Keith was outstanding. From initial e-mail enquiry to Appel, to a short, relaxed and informal visit to his workshop to resolve an iMac virus issue, and an easy payment process payment (very reasonable I must add), this is everything a High Street experience isn’t.!! Many thanks iMac 21.5″ removed Adware Malware & installed adware & virus protection. Neil, Newport, Shropshire

Helpful assessment that replacing faulty memory heatsink on PowerMac G5 was problematic. As a result decision made to purchase a new iMac rather than go for a risky repair. Appreciate the integrity of Appel. G5 start up problems due to RAM heatsink. Cleaned & adjust assessed as further work uneconomic. David, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

I was extremely please with the service that I received from Keith at Appel. My iMac needed some upgrading and Keith was able to fit me in quickly and managed to resolve the issue whilst I waited – I would highly recommend them. iMac 20″ resolved issues with MS Office Lisa, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Just thought I would drop you a line to say thank you for fixing my mac. As you are aware I was about to scrap the computer and buy a new mac!

Keith came highly recommended for Apple repair by my brother. Although my repair was a little more serious and my Apple Mac had to be sent to the States for diagnostics and repair the turnaround was excellent and I had my Mac back in just over a week. Keith kept me updated with progress and costs all the way. I can’t recommend Keith enough!!

13″ MacBook Air replaced LCD panel

Carol, Newport, Shropshire

27″ iMac not accepting DVDs. Tried simple clean but had to replace drive.

Great service from Keith when my tired old G5 hard drive gave up the ghost. Not only did he supply me with a new one, but also rescued data which should have been backed up but wasn’t! To say I was relieved is an understatement — what a fantastic service and a very fair price too. PowerMac G5 crashed HD replaced & data recovery Marianne, Uffington, Shropshire
