This can include disk defragmentation, system rebuilds, and diagnostic tools will be utilized to check for system performance and viruses.
Carry-In Service
If your Apple product is in warranty, then there will be no charge for a hardware repair. If the product is out of warranty, then we will charge €65 incl VAT per hour labor plus the cost of any parts required. We will provide an estimate for the repair and only proceed when we have received your authorization. All hardware repairs come with a 90-day Apple warranty. The fee of €65 incl VAT per hour may apply to warranty repairs if the problem is found to be software related. Before any repair is offered, we will need to assess the equipment and correctly identify any fault. Therefore, equipment must be left with us until such time as an Authorized Technician can complete an assessment.

We understand that your deadlines sometimes mean it’s not possible to be without your computer. To assist, we operate a Fast Track Service - a priority service on all in and out of warranty repairs.
