Testimonials

I had my iMac 27″ repaired at Appel and it was very professional but also very friendly and straight forward . Keith just took it with no quibbles and got it repaired in a very short time considering how bad it was. I nearly put it down to scrap it was that bad but as I said Keith fixed it no prob and its been running better than it ever did. I can’t recommend his repair service enough!!! Wiliam, Telford, Shropshire

Appel just did a good job replacing the fan on a MacBook. Keith has previously refurbished two MacBooks for us. Always very prompt, efficient and helpful, and perseveres until the job is done. MacBook overheating due to blocked exhaust & failing fan – cleaned & replaced. Chris, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

MacBook Pro 15″ failed battery & failed hard drive. Replaced battery with new and removed HD to recovery station. Unable to recover any data from this drive – sent to HD laboratory who dismantled in a clean room and rebuilt so data could be saved. There was catastrophic damage to one platter of HD and this data was lost but the other 3 platters were recovered including critical data for client.

MAcBook Air restored data from back up and configured all settings for client.

A tricky problem, source unknown, but sorted by Keith with a great deal of patience and perseverance. All data retrieved and all external hard drives functioning again after many hours of work. I couldn’t thank Keith enough. I really was very grateful indeed! Intel iMac 24 backup drive problems resolved.

Sheila, Market Drayton, Shropshire

I have been thoroughly satisfied with the job thanks – it’s worked consistently since I got it home. My airport card was installed into my iMac with the minimum of fuss while I waited. It was set up and tested before I left and all at a fraction of the price (and turnaround time) that other companies had quoted. I would not hesitate to use Appel again. Alison, Designer, Cheshire

I killed my iPhone, Keith fixed it. Great service, right price. Simon, Newport, Shropshire

Faced with a blank screen on my MBP, I was dreading the cost of purchasing a new Mac and weighing the implications of having to update all my software to whichever OS was dished out to me in the process. Fortunately, Keith at Appel assured me that there was still plenty of life left to my MBP, and a week later, the laptop was returned to me as good as new, with a reconditioned logic board, a new (and much larger) HDD, extra RAM, a spare battery and a replacement case (the original was damaged ar… G. Limor, London

Thanks for sorting out our ibook. Now its upgraded to OSX 10.7.5 and backing up on the nice little hard drive you supplied, its doing all the things a Mac should do again. I am sure it will be good for another 2-3 years. Thanks again for this and all the other times your knowledge has proved invaluable, long may you be around. MacBook RAM upgrade, new battery & complete housekeeping Len, Broseley, Shropshire

We were very grateful for the work you did on our Mac to recover our photos from our two and a half years in NZ. We would have been devastated to have lost those memories. iMac 20” corrupt HD – data recovery successful

Tom & Sarah, Wrexham

Had the video card on my iMac go a while back and as I need it to run my business, required an urgent fix. Found Appel through recommendation and contacted Keith who was straight on it. He managed to find a replacement card and I was up and running again in a short space of time. Keith provides a fast and efficient service at a reasonable cost, which for my business is spot-on. iMac 24″ transferred all data from faulty PC laptop Jeremy, Hadnall, Shropshire

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

I am delighted with the speed and reliability of my internet access since you replaced my comms pcb and upgraded my memory.

I have been recommending you to all Mac owners I know. Thanks for all your help, excellent service. MacBook wireless card replacement

Peter, Walsall, West Midlands

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

Responsive, more knowledgeable than the Genius Bar, and not some 20 year old who knows nothing in a stack them high, sell them cheap, technology warehouse. MacBook black replaced DVDRW and fitted replacement keyboard

Simon, Church Stretton, Shropshire

Thanks to Appel for trying to save me money by finding a cheaper solution to my dead cinema screen. Unfortunately the cheap option didn’t work but they did source a new graphics card which worked a treat and my mac and two screens are once again fully functional. I was very happy with the service. MacPro faulty graphics card tried alternative but had to import original from US.

Wendy, Henley, West Midlands

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

Very friendly and honest service with no charge for fault finding, I wont use anyone else! Oliver, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Upgrading an older Mac to El Capitan. Beware CPU hogging and over heating at first start up. It appears that Photos background activities coupled with Spotlight indexing are causing a lot of overheating and crashes on older Macs until both have completed initial set up. Try installing iStat Menus to run the fans faster and leave your Mac on for 24 hours after initial set up. As always, give me a call if you need help.

Sold refurbished iMac 27″ including transfer of all data from old 17″ iMac running Mac OS X.4. This requires OS on original to be updated to 10.6.8 and all programs updated to run on newer OS, especially iTunes & iPhoto. Then the data can be transferred successfully.
