Testimonials

Just a quick note to say ‘Thank you’ for the prompt and professional work conducted on our MacBook Pro and iMac last week. The work has completely transformed the operating speed and ease of use of both units. We would happy to recommend your services at anytime (and have already done to several friends and colleagues!).

Martin, Telford

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.

***** Fantastic support from Keith, got me in same day to fix my MAC book Pro. Good professional, would recommend for anyone who needs help with Apple devices. Stuart, Hinstock

Sincere thanks to Keith at Appel for saving the day – and my life. My portable hard drive had years of work on it. When it crashed, my life flashed before my eyes. You were so calm and helpful, I immediately felt better just discussing the problem with you. Then when you retrieved all my information from the broken hard drive and put it safely on a new one, the relief was immense ! I can not thank you enough for your incredible expertise at a very reasonable price. Fantastic service ! E… Carol, Priorslee, Telford, Shropshire

“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

A big thank you to Appel for a very fast and economic repair on my iMac when they replaced the failed hard drive. Great friendly service and advice means I would recommend Appel every time. 20” Intel iMac HD replaced and data recovery. Peter, Walsall, West Midlands.

iPad Mini ordered new LCD to go with new glass/digitiser & new power button

27″ iMac (new super slim model) extended repair time because faulty logic board had 2 faulty RAM sticks as well. All fixed under warranty.

Rescued from Mac meltdown once again by the king of Mac-fixing! If you’ve got a poorly Mac or need a new refurb, just don’t think of going anywhere else. Outstanding service as ever. iMac G5 20” supplied Kath, Telford, Shropshire

In a world of cynical corporate shysters, Keith @Appel is a breath of fresh air! I can’t recommend his services highly enough. Friendly, knowledgeable and super efficient. There really is nowhere else I would take my Mac stuff to be sorted. Shaun Ryan, Publisher, Ryan’s Gig Guide. iMac 27” upgraded RAM and sorted software issues Shaun, Wolverhampton, West Midlands

I needed an urgent repair for a crashed hard drive on my church office computer. Keith replaced the hard drive, recovered all the data from the old drive and I had a perfectly working machine back, with intact files, in less than 24 hours. All this at a superb price. Another place I tried wanted the machine for two weeks, could not recover the data and wanted 3 times the price. I’ll use Keith every time now. 27″ iMac data recovery and transfer to new HD fitted Garry, Claverley, Shropshire

I thought I should add a further thank you. The Mac mini is like a new machine, you would never know it’s over eight years old; it boots up in nothing flat and apps open with a snap. The added bonus is that although I get a message about Microsoft and the Mac not being optimised and other stuff Word etc. are working fine. Chris, Market Drayton

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the effort in fixing my Macbook Pro. I’m getting things reinstalled now and it’s chugging along nicely with no issues. It was a delight to meet you and extremely reassuring to have someone with your depth of experience working on my machine. I do love an “old school” workshop and yours filled me with confidence. I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. Mike, Sutton Coldfield

Hello Keith, Thank you so much for mending my laptop you are a true gent and its so nice to meet someone who’s does what they say there going to do and does it properly. Mandy, Telford

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

My hard drive failed in one of our busiest periods of the year. Appel received my iMac on Friday afternoon, and I was up to speed again by Monday lunchtime (all data intact). That’s what I call service! 24” iMac new HD & data recovery Rich, Design Studio, Wolverhampton, West Midlands

New battery fitted to Retina MacBook Pro. Brilliant service, efficient and perfect. Keith not only changed the battery for my old Macbook Pro, he also fixed bottom case foot, which is more than what I expect. Thanks for Keith, I’d managed to finish my work on time and no need to postpone any deadlines. Judy, Shrewsbury

Dear Keith, thank you for the repairs you recently carried out on my Mac. You offer a friendly and professional service. You got my computer working within hours and I was delighted with the result, many thanks, Rose. Vintage Mac iBook replaced dc in board Rose, Telford, 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

Helpful assessment that replacing faulty memory heatsink on PowerMac G5 was problematic. As a result decision made to purchase a new iMac rather than go for a risky repair. Appreciate the integrity of Appel. G5 start up problems due to RAM heatsink. Cleaned & adjust assessed as further work uneconomic. David, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

I am delighted with the speed and reliability of my internet access since you replaced my comms pcb and upgraded my memory. Having only recently moved to this area I am so pleased to have found such a friendly and reliable Apple expert (and a fraction of Apple’s pricing!). I have been recommending you to all Mac owners I know. Thanks for all your help, excellent service. MacBook wireless card replacement

Sue, Shrewsbury

Keith has repaired two of my Macs recently and has provided a quick and responsive service – he always helpful and friendly too – an added bonus! MacBook Pro data recovery & replace hard drive Jocelyne, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

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

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
