Mac Services:

Bringing life back to your Mac is my specialty. Whether it's a laptop in need of a boost or a desktop requiring some attention and a significant speed increase, my mobile service gets the job done right.

I can upgrade, refurbish, restore, and speed up your device even far beyond its former glory.

Efficient Mac Repair:

I usually pick up the machines on a Wednesday in Comox Valley/CR to diagnose for free in my shop in Powell River.

From there I can tell you via phone or on this messenger platform what the solution and cost would be. I can set you up with a loaner if you need one until the next Wednesday.

Some repairs can also be done in situ. A basic house call is $90/hr, most repairs can be done in 2-3 hrs.

Restore speed beyond new performance:

There is a 95% chance that your Mac slowed down ONLY because the aging storage device, i.e.: the HDD ( Hard Disc Drive) is failing, caused by a worn bearing. It is easy and very cost-effective to replace the HDD with a 5x faster modern SSD (Solid State Drive).

Replacement cost is $180 for laptops, and -$220 for desktops in labour, the cost of the SSD depends on the capacity, format and speed of the device.

500GB starts at $140 for a quality 2.5” SSD, or $220 for a 2.5”1TB SSD.

SSD blades used in later laptops are 20% more.

Good used refurbished Macs:

I have good used iMac desktops and Macbooks:

2012-2022 available at reasonable prices. All the pre-2013 Macbook Pros I have already upgraded from the old conventional slowing HDD to the much faster SSD in this basic configuration: 120Gb SSD /4Gb RAM.

I can add extra RAM up to 16 GB for $7/GB.

The SSD drives also can be upgraded from 120 GB up to 2000GB (2 TB):

240GB SSD: add $50

500GB SSD: add $100

1000GB (1TB) SSD: add $180

2000GB (2TB) SSD: add $320
