Testimonials

A brilliant service got me up and running when Apple wanted a fortune just to examine my iMac. iMac 24” replace faulty video card Richard, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

20″ iMac not booting. HD has failed and requires extra RAM to run latest software. Client opted to buy used MacBook Unibody. Disk recovery failed in house so sent to HD laboratory for strip & rebel of drive tot recover data. Client’s back up disk was also faulty. Repaired HD & recovered all data to new drive in MacBook.

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

My iMac recently developed a fault. The first “port in a storm” was to contact Appel who diagnosed a hard drive malfunction, and recommended a replacement. An updated spec drive was subsequently installed, and the system now functions perfectly. Keith Cox gave a speedy, cost effective and efficient service. Without hesitation, I would recommend his business to other Mac users. iMac 21.5” replace faulty hard drive Alan, Little Wenlock, 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

Always helpful with a speedy and professional approach. Beat every quote for repair and sales I could find and work done with a personal touch, couldn’t ask for more, especially as I depend on my various Macs for business and life in general. A satisfied customer! iMac HD replaced and data transfer plus supply of used Mac. Mark Newtown, Powys

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

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.

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.

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.

I took my old battered iMac to Appel for a screen repair, hoping to get another 6 months out of it.

I was very impressed with the service I received and will definitely use Appel again. Typical vintage iMac repair, screen replaced and screen bezel/case Mark, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

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!!!
