Testimonials

So pleased to get the recommendation to get your help with my mac problems, already telling my friends ! Very pleased with my purchase of used MacBook Pro, just the job. Replaced dead 17” MacBook Pro with refurbished unit Sue, Bridgnorth, Shropshire

Top man! George, Telford, Shropshire

Keith offers a great service – a reliable, knowledgeable and sensibly priced solution. MacBook replaced hard disk drive and attempted data recovery. George, Clun, 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

“This guy really can carry out repairs / replacements of components on computer circuit boards. I can’t recommend the service Keith provides highly enough. I took my dead MacBook Pro in to the offices on Friday Lunchtime, it was repaired and I picked it up less than 24hrs later. FANTASTIC. The cost was 1/3 of what I had been quoted by anybody else, which made the repair very affordable. Keith, also, provided a software solution to help prevent the same thing happening again. Thanks very much Kei… Telford, Shropshire photographer

Peter, Wolverhampton, West Midlands

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

Simply stunning service! Forget Apple Stores, you can’t go wrong with Keith. MacBook 13″ strip and repair logic board and fit new keyboard assembly.

Ross, Telford

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

I killed my iPhone, Keith fixed it. Great service, right price. Simon, Newport, Shropshire

We’d like to say that we found the service assessment and advice to be realistic and practical. The cost was in line with our expectations. Chris & Jane, Wem, Shropshire

Awesome, thanks Keith

Richard, Bridgnorth, Shropshire

Appel Mac repairs are outstandingly good, highly professional and offer a service second to none when it comes to diagnosing problems and most importantly fixing them. I contacted Keith when my hard disk failed on upgrading OSX, he quoted me a price for the hard drive and fitting it (as well as securely destroying the old one). I took the Mac in on Friday night and it was ready and waiting at 9am the next day. I couldn’t fault the service. I said it at the time, and I’ll say it again, Keith, you… Stephen, Wellington, Shropshire

I was very happy with the service you provided considering the appalling service I received from a previous company with a supposedly good reputation! Your estimate was accurate for what I requested and you were upfront in letting me know that some of the repairs/upgrades may not be possible. Fortunately they were and all for the price you quoted me. Your turn around was very quick considering my high street shop took nearly six weeks to tell me they couldn’t do what I wanted. I would *definitel… Linda from Worcester

iMac 27″ new video & SSD. I’m very impressed with the service you’ve provided – very efficient and communication has been spot on. Chris, Leicester

Excellent and fast service, potentially huge and expensive problem solved quickly and cheaper than anticipated! Will definitely be back! MacPro failed video card and we had a replacement in stock. Fitted and tested. Joe, Telford, Shropshire

I was really pleased with the repairs you did for me. You diagnosed the Macbook fault for free and put me in touch with a warranty solution from Apple rather than doing the job yourself. Great service. MacBook Pro on investigation referred to extended warranty from Apple. Jim, Telford, Shropshire

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
