Testimonials

Appel came highly recommended and deservedly too. Even though Keith was clearly busy when I arrived, he made time to sort my Macbook Pro problems promptly. This was my first experience of Appel and as a result I won’t be going elsewhere – delighted. Set up new MacBook Pro and recover data & transfer from old Mac. Andy, Cressage, Shropshire

Just a quick line to say thanks for sorting my Apple iMac i7. Everything seems much crisper video wise, images seem sharper with cleaner tones.. (or it might be my new glasses ) as a side it all seems to be running much faster as well, all the apps are running quicker, especially Photoshop. Just shows what all that rubbish on the system does. Phil, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands

Just a line to say thanks very much for sorting my MacBook at such a great price, new memory and reloading the OS. Also the Mac mini is flying along since you diagnosed hard drive failure and replaced with an SSD, so glad I didn’t send it to Apple who diagnosed it as a failed logic board Peter, Telford, Shropshire

“A fantastic service! My Computer, wireless system and hard drive went down all at the same time! I was losing a lot of business, but after a panic stricken phone call to Appel, they came round, sorted everything out and I was up and running again within hours! I cannot praise them highly enough. Thanks for saving my bacon Appel!” iMac G5 and Zyxel router fixed loss of internet connection. Telford, Shropshire Artist

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 can’t thank you enough for saving my Mac from what I thought was a total meltdown! Your fantastic professionalism and expertise coupled with your calm friendly and swift service helped make a stressful event very bearable! Thank you again. MacBook Pro 17 replaced faulty RAM & set up Time Machine Andy, Edinburgh, Scotland

Excellent service from Appel, as always, my computer and I say thank you very much. MacBook Pro 15 screen and ac adaptor replaced. Kay, High Ercall, Shropshire

iPad 2 nightmare repair. When screen was smashed it fractured some internal cables. Playing hunt the fault with a box of new parts was no fun.

I’ve used Appel a couple of times now and the service has been excellent. It’s nice to know that, although my Apple kit is a little old (G5 iMac and G4 powerbook), there is somebody local who you can trust and who will get things back up and running. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Appel to family and friends. First class service, keep up the good work. Repair iMac G5 20″ with new psu & hard disk. Mike, Telford, Shropshire

Having bought loads of Apples from Appel I could not be happier. Great service, superb knowledge and excellent attitude. Supplied used 17” MacBook Pro fully refurbished Paul, Ironbridge, Shropshire

Back home, plugged in switched on all working and seems fine. Thank you again, Frances Frances, Telford, Shropshire

MacBook Pro with screen very loose. Diagnosed faulty hinge. Stripped & replaced hinges. Mac repair completed successfully within the day.

My MacBookPro was recently infected by a particularly nasty trojan virus and Keith did a great job for me in sorting out my laptop and rescuing files that had seemed to have disappeared into the ether. I am grateful for his encyclopaedic knowledge of Apple computers, his professionalism and his ability to speak about computers in language that I can understand. MacBook Pro Flashback trojan deleted, full disk data recovery, wipe HD & reinstall all Stephen, 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

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

Just wanted to let you know how happy I am with your back-up service and help with the G4 etc. I have recommended Appel to a relative looking for a Mac laptop – and bored countless other friends with tales of your exceptional customer service! Many thanks again – I am delighted that a friend suggested I contact you in the first place.

David, Welshpool

I just want say a great service. Did the job really quick and professional, Fair prices. Recommend him to any of my family who have apple computer problems. Thank you Ben, Telford, Shropshire

Another MacBook Air liquid spill. Chemical clean and replace d SSD. All works fine now. Julian, Shrewsbury, 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.

Thank you for all your help over the weekend in getting my daughter’s Mac sorted. PowerBook G4 new fans and RAM upgrade Ray from Telford

I had an iPad screen replaced and a little damage to the case repaired. The work was done on time and at a reasonable price. I was very happy with Appel’s service. Derek, Albrighton, Shropshire

A super quick service from Keith who was sympathetic to the needs of my business during my latest computer crisis. He had me back up and running with no data loss whatsoever. He gave me some useful hardware advise which I have put into practice! Would recommend on that basis. MacBook Pro 15 hard drive replacement & data recovery Oliver, Telford, shropshire

Another iPad 2 dropped and glass did not serve. Replaced broken scree with new glass/digitiser.

I purchased my first Mac from Appel and had no hesitation in coming back to you for my 2nd Mac and for you swap all my info from the old to the new and clean my old Mac up so my daughter could use it. Excellent value for money but most importantly you explain everything so that even a bimbo like me can understand how the Mac works and you were so patient with me & my daughter – wouldn’t go anywhere else now !!!

13″ MacBook HD repair & supplied 15″ MacBok Pro

Nicky, Walsall, West Midlands
