So I have a 4-year old Mac that I took in to Mac Mechanic once it started to finally but inevitably break down. The told me almost instantly that it would be a $500 fix, and, that I'd be better off just getting a new computer.

Well I felt pretty bad, but I had always thought about the same. I thought I'd gotten pretty good service. Anyway, I got a pre-owned mac for a decent price, and just on a whim I took my old laptop into the Mac Shac. $140 later, my old mac was fixed!!! That's including the labor cost, which was minimal (it may seem expensive, but that's what it costs, and they didn't charge more than one hour for the whole fix).

What can I say, I'm very grateful, and as soon as they're restocked (they just expanded the store), I'm going through them for a few more things.

I love the Mac Shac. I'm a veteran Mac user and computer savvy enough that I rarely need outside technical support, but when I do - I use the Mac Shac. I've gone to the Mac Mechanic in downtown SB, and they're OK, with a swank store and all, but the service isn't as considerate and personal. For example, cleaning my keyboard last week, I broke a one of the white scissor pieces that hold the key cap on. I looked around on the web and found that I could buy a replacement scissor piece for ~$8 on ebay, but I'd have to wait for it to ship to me... and there'd be that uncertainty and pain in the neck if it didn't work. So I called the local stores. Mac Shac was supposed to be closed, so I called Mac Mechanic first. The folks there told me I'd have to buy a whole new keyboard for over $100! I called the Mac Shac, just to hear when they'd be open, and a real person answered, telling me that the technician would be in bright and early the next morning and might have a keyboard lying around he could just give me the piece off of... so I went by there the next day, and he was sooo nice! He gave me a whole keyboard (non-working - out of the trash) to play with and refused to charge me anything!

I'm telling you. The Mac Shac really just wants you to have a good experience with your mac. They're not out to gouge you. They'll charge what they need to stay in business and it's a fair price. If you're like me, and love macs, you'll respect this outfit and give it your business. It's always good to have a few professionals around when you need them.

I'm saving up, and when I splurge on an iPhone, I'm going through them.

This place is awesome. Not only do they have a wide selection of apple products they repair them also. Plus Mac computers are sooooo much beter than PCs. Although i was surprised when my mac crashed it took the to them and it was fixed in no time. ITs a very nice place. IF you like mac youll like the MAc Shac

I bought my mac laptop in here. I heard from my colleague that this store sells mac laptop and desktop. They have a good deal on it. They install the softwares and everything to my computer. I think they also do the service, repairs, and upgrades ur mac computer. Staff is so talented in their fields.
