Testimonials

iPad 4 with broken screen. Old glass all removed and new glass/digitiser fitted.

I found Keith through an Apple Dealer in Telford – he literally saved my life or at least that of external HDD which had died whilst my iMac was away having a full re install and therefore wiped clean.There was a major melt down in my home office as all my files were on that back upand all my photographs and all my music. I’ve since told every Mac owner I know about Appel. Data recovery external HD Laura, Stafford, Staffs

The service was great, dropped the iPad off with you for you to assess what was wrong and was told the same day and then all options were advised and as soon as the school decided what they wanted to do the work was carried out quickly and I picked the iPad up a couple of days later. Very good customer service and very promptly carried out. Will definitely be coming back to you for more fixes in the future. Stuart, Telford, Shropshire

You spotted that the charger itself was at fault, supplied a new one and a security update installed to boot. Thanks again for saving me a small fortune. MacBook mis diagnosed as logic board when pins on ac adaptor were faulty. Paul, Wolverhampton, West Midlands

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

You repaired my MacBook Pro and a fine job you did on it. I was very impressed that you didn’t go for the easy and most costly option first and tried to re connect the video chip with the attendant cleaning off of the original compound. but eventually the new board had to be ordered and installed. You also increased the memory and put in a new battery. I am pleased to report the unit is working well . Thank you for all the care and attention you gave to the laptop and me (the customer). I w… Read more Will, Brewood, Staffs

It’s always a crisis when your Mac goes down, rare as that may be.

5 Stars! I went to Appel with my ancient MacBook Pro that literally blown up while DJing due to a power surge issue, the Mac was completely dead!

Keith gave me hope saying he may be able to salvage and save my huge music collection and photo’s that were saved on this 15 year old Mac!
