Andy's service is second to none. I dropped my MacBook off with him and he replaced the battery in no time. It wasn't an urgent job but it was ready in a matter of days. I would highly recommend his services.

Saved me hundreds that I would have spent taking my MacBook to Apple. Amazing service from Andy, would definitely recommend to anyone with a MacBook problem. Easy to contact, fast service and problem solved. Brought my mac to Andy with a screen issue and it was dealt with quickly, upon pickup he explained to me what he'd done and what to do with my laptop going forward, very informative.

Andy is super helpful and knowledgeable and has fixed my Mac speed, back up and memory issues quickly and without fuss. Even though I have low tec knowledge he has helped me understand the work he has done to sort my ongoing issues. The service was efficient and no nonsense and I can honestly recommend him to you very highly indeed and without hesitation!

Excellent service - battery replaced within 30 minutes, and helpful. The only reason it's four * is because his website address (if you don't know what to look for) is in Deansgate, Manchester, which is just a mailbox shop. I drove there, waited outside in the rain, and then came to his flat, which is in the same part of Manchester that I live in. So - please update the website details, Andrew.

Highly recommended.Excellent work by Andy after Apple "diagnosed" the replacement of the logic board on our 2020 MacBook Air.Not only did Andy bring the MacBook back to life, he also preserved all the data so nothing was lost, at 1/3 of the price quoted by Apple (who would have lost the data).

We have been fortunate to find Andy, as he done outstanding job on our Apple Mac computer and Pro mac laptop. Both computers are working significantly quicker which enables us to carry out our work more effectively. Andy saved us from buying 2 new computer and his prices as great too. Thank again AndyMary Dove Cleaning

Very pleased with the repair, Andy clearly cares deeply about each job. He engaged with me multiple times as the extensive damage became apparent and costs had to increase. I was really grateful to Andy for replacing my screen unit at cost price.No surprise when coming to post this review that he had five stars, glad to add another five.

Excellent place to get your MacBooks, iMac’s repaired. Andy is quite responsive in replies and got my laptop screen repaired within 30 mins of dropping it for repair. Highly recommended if you’re are looking for a cheaper and quality repair outside of apple.

Amazing professional service. Andy went above and beyond to try and diagnose a complicated issue with my mac. Fixed perfectly at a significantly lower amount than if i had taken it to Apple. Thanks!

Andy is either a wizard or a mac whisperer, the jury is still out. What I do know is that he managed to fix my firmware locked Mac for an incredibly reasonable price and saved months of work. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone, thank you Andy!

Excellent!!! I I went to Apple and was told logic board was broken - quoted £500. After a quick google search, I found Andy. A quick phone call, dropped off the MacBook and fixed with 24 hours. He even offer to loan me a spare MacBook. Top bloke and top service. Thanks Andy

After being told by Apple that they don’t carry the parts I required, I eventually found Andy and his UK Mac Repair service and I was glad I did.Firstly, Andy was able to source the parts that Apple don’t carry. Not only that, he fitted them to my machine and was able to resolve my problem for a lot less money than the alternatives, which included buying a new machine.Andy is impressively knowledgeable when it comes to MacBooks. Andy is a properly trained, educated and professionally experienced engineer who has been doing this type of work for many years. Once he has had the chance to take a look at the problem, he issues a quote and allows you the choice before starting work on the machine, I like that approach.But perhaps Andy’s best attributes include honesty (rare anywhere nowadays) and being able to simplify complex issues when explaining them to his clients. He actively tries to avoid bamboozling his clients which in itself is a rarity in this field. In my case, I required more than one visit and slightly more problem-solving than expected. However Andy handled it patiently and was willing to listen to my suggestions too. I am pleased with all aspects of the service Andy provided and I recommend him highly.

I had a great experience with Andy who fixed my 2015 MacBook Pro! They were extremely professional and knowledgeable, and communication was no-nonsense. They efficiently fixed both my battery and speakers. I highly recommend their services!

Andy was reliable throughout the process of fixing my Mac book air, which took less than a week, after some really severe liquid damage. He quoted me half of what apple quoted and kept me up to date with all repairs. Highly recommend

A great service. I got all the performance improvements Andrew promised from the upgrade/repair to my iMac, which now feels like a new machine.I'm glad to have someone I can trust nearby to go to for Mac repairs and maintenance.

My iMac was running slow.Andy quickly diagnosed the problem and sorted it out quickly. He's saved me £100s if I'd had to buy a new one.He's easy to deal with - replies to messages promptly and explained what he was doing.I would certainly recommend Andy for Mac repairs.

Genevieve Cramsie

Andy fixed my MacBook Pro incredibly quickly and for less than half the price Apple had quoted me. He gave wonderful insight into the condition of the computer, walking through each step of the repair process. I couldn't recommend his services enough!

If there were 6 stars I would give them to Andy. If your Mac is in need of repair then I could not recommend Andy more highly. He is polite, responsive, well priced and above all does a great job.

I was on the phone to apple for hours, going back and forth with different advisors never finding a solution or fix. I managed to find Andy and he literally resolved everything. Very professional and had great knowledge on computers and hardware etc. Highly recommend

Andy was quick and responsive when I first called him, told me a great recommendation to get a screen for MacBook Pro, the screen is in great working order with 90 days warranty. Acquired the screen and replaced the screen the same day! Honest with his work, definitely recommend if anyone has any problems with their Mac, just give him a call & you’ll know you’re in great hands!

Went to Andy with an issue with my new MacBook that was dead to the world through storing it.He advised me to do a battery replacement with Apple (even though it took business away from him) as he expected there was more issues and it was still new.He was correct and it was the best and most affordable option for me.This shows Andy always puts the customer first, he is a genuine guy and really knows his stuff.

Very professional. Really understands the inside and out of MacBooks. Actually finds the root of the problem rather than only guesswork/replacing random parts. Great prices. If you have a Mac issue this is your guy.
