Testimonials
I have been coming to Keith for a number of years both for repairs on new macs and restoration of older ones that are too good friends to loose. As a non tekkie I find his expertise awe inspiring, always does the repair (or nearly always) and seems to be able to conjure spares out of no where. Nice coffee too! Malcolm, Wem, Shropshire
A quick note to thank you for the quick repair of my iMac. Things are running nicely now and everything seems to be working fine. I was very impressed that you fixed it in just an hour while I waited, and although I didn’t understand at times what you were telling me your in-depth knowledge makes you my first port of call in the future!! I will certainly recommend you to other Apple friends. Tim, Norton, Shropshire
I wouldn’t go anywhere else and nobody is allowed to touch my Macs except you.  PowerMac G5 overhaul. Mark, Printer, Telford, Shropshire
Fantastic customer service, really helpful and informative! took time to make sure everything was setup! highly recommend. Leah, Stafford
Appel gives the sort of service one dreams of. When my old G5 Mac died on me on a Monday morning, a quick phone call to Keith and I was off to Telford to see if this boffin could fix it. He couldn’t – but he did rescue all my data and was incredibly helpful with all the discussion then to buy my fabulous new iMac. Brilliant service, and also really helpful after-care conversations. Can’t recommend him highly enough. New Intel iMac migrated data from failed iMac G5 and set up Time Machine backup.… Chloe, Ludlow, Shropshire
iPhone 5C with food spilt on it has muffled speaker & battery needs replacing. All stripped down and chemically cleaned. New battery fitted. Sound working & battery back to normal.
Quick personal, friendly service that didn’t cost a fortune. Unusual today! MacBook replace HD & repair to DVD drive. Nick & Heather, Oswestry, Shropshire
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
iPad Mini ordered new LCD to go with new glass/digitiser & new power button
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
6 iPad 2s repaired – 3 new glass/digitisers, 2 new screens (LCDs) and 1 home button dock connector assembly. All turned round in a day & client delighted.
Thank you so much for your patience with my ‘mucky’ computer on Friday. Now I am back home things are all settled and all three (iPhone, iPad  & Mac) are working well and feeling a lot better.
Kay, Preston, Lancs
I am very grateful indeed for the help that Keith gave me to strengthen the capacity and velocity of my Mac Mini with the right recommendations. He also managed to answer quite a few of my questions when I popped in. I am much less ‘desperate’ now and confident that i can come back when that is needed. Mac Mini SSD install & RAM upgrade Wilf, Oswestry, Shropshire
13″ MacBook Air water damaged, liquid inside casing. Stripped all down and dried out carefully over 2 days. Cleaned any oxidation from components. Rebuilt and all good. Also increased RAM from 4 to 8GB & repaired broken keys on keyboard. MacBook Air like new again & all working.
This is the second time I’ve used Appel’s services, due to a failed video chip on my MacBook. Both times Keith has been extremely helpful and gone the extra mile to assist me and ensure my issues are resolved. Thanks again Keith, you managed to turn a stressful situation into a manageable one and should anyone I know have any Apple related issues, I know where to point them. Thanks again. Edward, Telford
24″ iMac to be upgraded to Mac OSX 10.9. Had to upgrade RAM to 8GB, upgrade to 10.6.8 then upgrade software so that all data could be updated ready to transfer to 10.9. Successfully installed 10.9 & migrated all data.
Just to say a big thank you for the loving care you gave to my laptop. It is feeling very revived and spring like. Replace LCD screen 15” MacBook Pro. Kay, High Ercall, Shropshire
I was really happy with the service you provided. It was quick and efficient and you kept me informed of what was happening all the way through. You were also easy to get hold of and replied to my messages etc. quickly. I will definitely use your service again, if the need arises. You were also much cheaper than the apple store! Vintage Mac PowerBook G4 17″ new LCD fitted Kevin, Shrewsbury, 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
27″ iMac no power & no power light. Checked diagnostic LEDs & found no power output from PSU. Replacement power supply ordered to replace faulty power.
I cannot praise Appel enough, The last time you came, there had been a lightning strike in our area, so the problem was more complex than usual, but you soon had it rectified. I would be lost without your continuing help, you are always there at the end of the phone and respond so quickly. Many thanks for all your previous help. MacBook Unibody on-site call to reset logic board, PRAM & re-install all software.
Joyce, Shrewsbury, Shropshire
My iMac died.  I rushed it over to Keith at Appel who diagnosed a dead power supply.  He ordered one for delivery the next day and so I had the machine back within less than 24 hours. I was very impressed.  Then disaster struck – it died again the same day. Back to Keith the following morning.  He spent at least two hours dismantling the machine to sort the problem – and didn’t charge! Fantastic service. iMac 21.5” replaced faulty PSU & battery Richard, Wolverhampton, West Midlands
Many thanks Keith for excellent and fast service in diagnosing and repairing my iBook G4. Up and running again within the day. Tony, Wolverhampton, 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
Many many thanks for your work and the data recovery. Very pleased that you salvaged the situation so brilliantly!  Crashed HD MacBook replaced & data recovery. Sam from Bridgnorth & Canary Islands
