Can’t believe such service still existed, Mac Mini down and out on Monday 24th at 12 mid-day, contacted Appel, through a friend, now 12.30, half hour drive to Telford. Computer diagnosed on arrival, faulty board found, removed and replaced with new board, in stock. Full test and tidy up time now 1.30. Now that’s what I call service. Many thanks BJ, Crosshouses, Shropshire

20″ iMac starts up to black screen. Diagnosed failed HD. Hard drive replaced with new and new software installed. Data recovery on original successfully recovered critical data for client and migrated to new HD. OS was terminally damaged on original HD so data migration had to be done manually including repair and resetting of all file permissions.

Just to thank you for saving the Imac for me. Once again an excellent job, speedily resolved. 24″ iMac replaced hard drive & power supply plus RAM upgrade Derek, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

I was very pleased to hear of Keith’s expertise some years ago and his knowledge on Mac computers is unbelievable. This is my second visit this time to fix a damaged hard drive with an SSD. That apart he also transferred my records, including many photos, from iCloud. He will always go that extra mile in explaining technical details in terms that one can understand. Very highly recommended. Keith, Llangollen

Fantastic customer service, really helpful and informative! took time to make sure everything was setup! highly recommend. Leah, Stafford

When my beloved iMac stopped working I assumed the worst – a broken logic board.

A great service, fast and reasonably priced – I would highly recommend. iMac G5 20″ replaced PSU. Lee, Warrington, Cheshire

Just when everything is running smoothly, on our amazing Macs that we are totally reliant on, something unexpected happens…down time…Nooo!!! It’s so good to know at the other end of the phone is someone who you can talk to and will fix it. I have been dealing with Keith now for 17 years. Very happy rabbit. MacBook Pro 13″ RAM upgrade Mike, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Once again you came up trumps, my eldest boy’s MacBook was quoted as needing a new this and that in Bristol as it wasn’t charging. 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 replaced the battery in my 2015 Mac Book Pro and had the whole job completed in less than 24 hours. From the first phone call, he was polite, kept me informed of what was happening and when I met him was a thoroughly good chap. The quality of the workmanship was superb. But you know what made the biggest impact? My Mac Book had lost three of the rubber feet from the bottom and when I got home and looked, Keith had replaced them! He didn’t charge me for it and he didn’t mention it. That al… Kyle, Telford

A big thank you for giving my old mac a new life, a first rate service, one which I would gladly recommend to all my friends and family. iMac G4 upgrade RAM, new OSX, replace CDDVD

Keith has saved my Macbook Pro’s twice in the last five years when on both occasions I thought all was lost, he is simply gifted (!) ….and I am very grateful! Keith provides not only the highest technical expertise but the honest advice and calm problem solving we all need in the face of a Mac meltdown, and he does it as soon as he can and he delivers, thank you Keith! I will continue to travel long distances for him to sort my Mac.
