Testimonials

Thanks again Keith, MacBook Pro is brilliant, it’s like having a new computer! Mac repaired with new keyboard, RAM upgrade (memory) & a new OS installation. Emily, Much Wenlock, Shropshire

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

I found Keith Very helpful when my iPad smashed into pieces. He had it repaired in next to no time & would recommend him all the time. Very helpful and honest, that is hard to find these days Wayne, Ruabon, Wales

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

15″ MacBook Pro Unibody i7 upgrade RAM & replace failing HD. Permanent errors on hard drive but managed to repair temporarily and recover all data. 2 x 4G RAM fitted, new drive & data recovery completed. NB we have software to test integrity of drives in more detail than Apple’s Disk Utility. Sometimes a pass in Disk Utility does not mean the disk is OK as experienced by this client. Symptoms are slow performance and poor data transfer speeds.

Mac Mini Intel completely dead. Replaced RAM, PRAM battery & tested all connections. Logic board fault diagnosed and uneconomic repair.

iPad Mini with badly cracked screen was challenging to resolve as internal cables were damaged as a result of damage as well as a short on the main board. This would normally have been uneconomic to repair but our engineers were able to resolder and repair the board & keep the cost under £100 for the total repair.

It’s always a crisis when your Mac goes down, rare as that may be. The great thing about Appel is you can ring them and get a lot of helpful advice immediately – and only if that doesn’t work do they ask you to bring it in. I reckon I get service beyond the call of duty every time. And tea! iMac software data recovery and upgrades. Jamie, Church Stretton, Shropshire

“If you thinks its expensive hiring a professional, wait until you try an amateur!” Rings true with a couple of recent jobs: iMac 27” brought in after somebody offered the client a cheap HD replacement…. my cost to diagnose & fix was over £400 to replace the logic board that was shorted as a result of not working in a static protected environment. An iPad came in a few weeks ago, not working after having a new screen fitted at a pc repair shop locally. Having paid them for the repair that…

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

Very quick and helpful response. Problem was with a faulty battery: a replacement was sourced speedily and at a good price. Even lent her a spare battery while we waited for the new one. MacBook not booting, battery fault. Chris, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

iPad 4 fitted new charging port and reset main board. Works & charges now

I am very happy to have found you after feeling rather in the wilderness with any Mac support near by. I happily spend an hour’s drive to get to your place loaded with my MacMini because within a very short time you not only answer all my questions concerning iPhone, Back ups, Time machine and Video receptions but also recommended a very efficient backup system to archive my photography and video/film work. As a pensioner I have to be careful with money I can afford but I felt the pricing was… Wilf, Oswestry, Shropshire

Adware infection iMac 21.5″. Ran Adware Medic and installed ClamXav from the AppleStore and ran over whole HD. No more viruses, trojans or adware.

Thank you so much for updating my vintage MacBook! It’s given it a whole new lease of life and is running beautifully. An excellent service, very friendly and efficient. Lynsey, Telford, Shropshire

Keith managed to get me a late 2008 MacBook Pro component at very short notice, which was extremely helpful. Supplied LHS fan for 15” MacBook Pro Ali Mark Oswestry, Shropshire

Another MacBook Air repair with liquid damage. Replaced keyboard. recovered data from SSD, reformatted and set up with original data & new OS. 100% data recovery & works fine now.

Once again you came up trumps, my eldest boy’s MacBook was quoted as needing a new this and that in Bristol as it wasn’t charging. You spotted that the charger itself was at fault, supplied a new one and a security update installed to boot. Thanks again for saving me a small fortune. MacBook mis diagnosed as logic board when pins on ac adaptor were faulty. Paul, Wolverhampton, West Midlands

I have used Keith for a number of years now and he has always provided great service and sorted out problems big and small with a range of different Mac’s. Always a quick and efficient service and with reasonable prices. MacBook Pro fan replaced and reseated hinges. Robin, London & Shropshire

Thank you for rescuing my iPad Air with a new screen repair. The work was prompt and very reasonably priced. Chris, Telford, Shropshire

I was pleased to find a Mac person who actually does know about Macs, not always been like that and also a very generous man. iBook G4 14” installed new HD & Mac OSX Len, Broseley, Shropshire

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

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

What can I say about the service from Keith at Appel? Excellent service, help and advice. Why go anywhere else? Nik, Wellington, Shropshire

I thought my MacBook was a goner, but thanks for bringing it back to life (reminder to self: in future don’t bother to clean the keyboard.) MacBook repair new keyboard & top case Mike, Church Stretton, Shropshire
