Our approach to repair is fundamentally different from Apple’s

Our Repair Methoid is Different!

Our repair method offers distinct advantages compared to both Apple and Apple-authorized repair stores.

We Care About Your DATA

Apple doesn't really bother to fix your board, they just replace the whole board and your Data is gone, even though it was just necessary to replace the 10 cent component. Our approach to repair is fundamentally different, we try to find the cause of the malfunction and repair the board at the component level, and not just replace the entire board. As a result, your DATA is safe unless it was corrupted before we received the device.

Competitive Pricing

If you contact Apple Genius Bar, they will bill you $800-$1400 for the replacement of the entire motherboard, even without going into details what the cause of the issue is. They often charge you such a hefty bill even if you have a minor problem that we can often fix for less than half the price you were charged.

We Provide A Free Diagnoistic

Pricing for specific services depends on the year & model of your machine. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions, the more detail you give us on machine history / year / model #, the better we can assist you.
