Did the Apple Store quote you a price close to a new Mac, or say yours cannot be fixed? Get a second opinion first. We do mac computer repair for every Apple computer, including MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini. When your Mac is out of warranty, we often fix it for far less than Apple charges, and we save Macs that Apple would simply replace. Won't turn on, running slow, cracked screen, dead battery, or a spill, we handle it, and your files stay safe. The check is free.
Here is the honest reason people look beyond the Apple Store for mac computer repair: once your Mac is out of warranty, Apple's prices climb fast. Apple often replaces whole parts or quotes a price near a new Mac. We repair at the part level, which costs much less.
The difference between Apple's approach and ours. When a Mac has a problem, the Apple Store usually swaps a whole large part, like the entire logic board, which is the main board that runs the Mac. That is why out-of-warranty quotes get so high. We work at the component level, which means we find the one small part that failed and fix just that part. The Mac works again, and you pay a fraction of a full part swap. We also tell you honestly when a repair is not worth it, instead of guessing.
We will say it plainly: if your Mac is still under warranty or you have AppleCare, take it to Apple first, since your repair may be free or cheap there. AppleCare is Apple's paid protection plan. We are the smart choice once that coverage ends, or for the repairs Apple will not do.
A Mac that will not turn on scares people, but most of the time it is fixable, and your files are fine. Before you give up on it or pay for a new one, let us check. A dead-seeming Mac is often a small, affordable fix.
A worn battery, a bad charging part, a small failed part on the board, or even a software problem can all make a Mac look completely dead. Each of these is fixable, and the free check tells you which one it is. Many "dead" Macs leave our shop working like normal.
Our mac computer repair service covers the whole Apple Mac family. Bring in any model, and we will diagnose it for free and tell you the options.
The laptops are the most common Mac repairs we see: screens, batteries, charging, spills, and storage. For a cracked MacBook screen, see our laptop screen replacement service, which covers MacBook panels.
The iMac puts the whole computer behind the screen. We repair iMac screens, drives, memory, and power problems. These are great machines worth keeping running for years.
The small desktop Macs are reliable and very repairable. We handle storage upgrades, power issues, and port problems on the Mac mini and Mac Studio.
Whatever your Mac is doing, we have likely fixed it before. Here are the common problems we solve, with links to the exact service where it helps.
Often a battery, a charging part, or a small board fault. Usually fixable and affordable. For deeper board faults, our laptop motherboard repair service covers Mac logic boards too.
A slow Mac is often fixed by clearing out software clutter, adding memory where the model allows, or moving to a faster drive. We find the real cause instead of guessing.
Cracked glass, lines, or a dim display. We replace Mac screens, and the MacBook side is covered by our screen replacement service.
A MacBook that dies fast or has a swelling battery, which can lift the case, needs a new battery. Our laptop battery replacement service handles MacBooks.
Spilled on your Mac? Power it off now and bring it in fast. Liquid spreads and corrodes, so speed matters. We clean and repair spill damage and save many soaked Macs.
Full or failing storage, a macOS software problem, or a Mac that will not start up. macOS is the software that runs your Mac. If you are worried about your files, our data recovery service rescues photos and documents from Macs that will not boot.
This is the question Mac owners ask first, and the answer is reassuring: no, a repair almost never touches your files. Your photos, documents, and apps live on the Mac's drive, and most repairs leave that drive untouched.
If the Mac will not turn on at all, your files are still usually safe on the drive. We can recover them even from a Mac that seems dead, and move them to a working drive or your iCloud. You do not lose your memories over a hardware problem.
The price depends on the model and the problem, but the theme is simple: we are almost always well below the Apple Store's out-of-warranty price. The diagnosis is free, and you approve the cost before any work. Here is a general guide.
| Repair | What It Covers | Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Free diagnosis | Find the real problem and quote it | $0 |
| Software and slow-Mac fixes | Clean up, macOS issues, startup problems | $59 to $129 |

When Apple replaces a whole logic board, the cost is huge. When we fix the one failed chip or part on that board, the cost drops a lot. That is the heart of why independent Mac repair is so much cheaper after warranty.
We believe in honest advice, even when it sends you elsewhere. There are times the Apple Store is the better choice, and we will tell you so.
Your Mac is still under its one-year warranty, you have active AppleCare, or your Mac is part of an official Apple repair program for a known issue. In those cases, Apple may fix it free or cheaply, and you should let them.
Your warranty and AppleCare have ended, Apple quoted a price near a new Mac, Apple said it cannot be repaired, or you want a faster, friendlier, lower-cost fix from real people you can talk to. That is exactly what we do.
Many Mac repairs are done quickly. Most mac computer repair jobs are finished the same day, and if we need to order an Apple part for your exact model, we tell you the wait at the free check.
Is independent Mac repair really cheaper than the Apple Store?
Once your Mac is out of warranty, almost always yes. Apple tends to swap whole parts, like a full logic board, which is why their quotes get so high. We fix the one failed part at the component level, which costs far less. We also tell you honestly when a repair is not worth it.
My Mac won't turn on. Is it dead?
Probably not. A worn battery, a charging fault, a small board problem, or even software can make a Mac seem completely dead. Most are fixable and affordable, and your files stay safe. Our free check tells you the real cause, and many "dead" Macs leave working again.
Which Macs do you repair?
All of them: MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini, and Mac Studio. From screens and batteries to power, storage, spills, and board-level faults. Bring in any Apple Mac and we will diagnose it for free.
Will I lose my photos and files during a repair?
Almost never. Your files live on the Mac's drive, and most repairs leave it untouched. Even if your Mac will not start, your files are usually safe, and we can recover them and move them somewhere secure. A hardware problem does not have to cost you your memories.
How much does Mac computer repair cost?
The diagnosis is free. Software and slow-Mac fixes run $59 to $129, MacBook batteries $99 to $199, screens $149 to $349 and up by model, and component-level board repair $129 to $349. Whatever the job, we aim to come in well under Apple's out-of-warranty price, and you approve the cost first.
Should I go to the Apple Store or to you?
Go to Apple if your Mac is still under warranty, you have active AppleCare, or it is part of an official Apple repair program. Come to us if your coverage has ended, Apple quoted a price near a new Mac, Apple said it cannot be fixed, or you just want a faster, lower-cost repair from people you can talk to.
Apple said my Mac can't be repaired. Can you still help?
Often yes. Apple sometimes calls a Mac unrepairable when they only mean they will not do a board-level fix. We repair at the component level and save many Macs Apple turns away. Bring it in for a free check before you give up on it.
Can you fix a Mac that had a liquid spill?
Yes, and speed matters. Power it off, do not charge it, and bring it in fast, because liquid spreads and corrodes. We clean the corrosion and replace damaged parts. Many spilled Macs are saved when they reach us quickly.
Do not let one Apple Store quote cost you hundreds, and do not give up on a Mac that can be saved. Our mac computer repair service covers every Apple Mac, from MacBook to iMac to Mac mini, usually for far less than Apple charges out of warranty. Your files stay safe, and we tell you honestly when Apple is the better choice. Call (703) 594-9339, get a free quote, or bring your Mac in today via contact. Free diagnosis, 30-day warranty on every repair. Trusted by 443+ reviewers since 2013.
