Always a fantastic service from Keith – a man who knows his Apples inside out (pips and all). Whether its an old G4 or the latest machine he knows his stuff and charges more than a fair price. To be honest, knowing that Appel is about means I’m more likely to buy a mac – even a used mac. I feel very lucky to live in telford (and trust me I have never ever said that before!) iMac repair & bottom case & keyboard replacement MacBook Air Sara, Telford, Shropshire

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.

Keith replaced the battery in my 2015 Mac Book Pro and had the whole job completed in less than 24 hours. From the first phone call, he was polite, kept me informed of what was happening and when I met him was a thoroughly good chap. The quality of the workmanship was superb. But you know what made the biggest impact? My Mac Book had lost three of the rubber feet from the bottom and when I got home and looked, Keith had replaced them! He didn’t charge me for it and he didn’t mention it. That al… Kyle, Telford

Thank you so much for sorting out the problems with my daughter’s MacBook. For an IT idiot like myself, your service was brilliant. You were so helpful and explained the problems in terms I could understand and completed the work in a far shorter time than expected. I have to say that I was also very pleasantly surprised by the bill! My daughter is delighted to have her computer back in plenty of time for her summer work for university.

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.

For a few months my iMac had attitude about nearly everything. Keith didn’t give up until I was back on the road – proving once again that he really is the fourth emergency service! Marianne, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Just thought I would drop you a line to say thank you for fixing my mac. As you are aware I was about to scrap the computer and buy a new mac!

I can not thank you enough for your incredible expertise at a very reasonable price. Fantastic service! Fu… Carol-Angela, Telford, Shropshire

Apple advise that virus protection should not be required if you keep your Mac OS up to date. In fact many supposed protection software grab lots of processor & RAM slowing Macs down by interrupting OS X system calls. If you are still worried go App Store and download free ClamXav and run once a month or if you are worried. f&s
