Why Choose Professional Mac Servicing?
Apple devices are known for their premium build quality, innovative design, and seamless performance. However, like any device, they can occasionally experience issues. Attempting DIY repairs on a Mac can lead to further damage, voiding your warranty or escalating repair costs. That’s where professional servicing comes in. Our certified technicians use genuine Apple parts and advanced tools to restore your device to perfect working condition, ensuring the longevity and reliability of your investment.
Common Mac Service Issues
1. Screen Replacement
A cracked, flickering, or unresponsive screen can disrupt your workflow. Screen-related problems are among the most common issues for MacBooks and iMacs.
Signs you need a screen replacement:
- Cracked or shattered glass.
- Dead pixels, discoloration, or backlight issues.
- Unresponsive display or persistent flickering.
Our Solution: We use original Apple screens to ensure a perfect visual experience. Whether it’s a Retina display on your MacBook Pro or a 5K screen on your iMac, we guarantee precise installation for flawless performance.
2. Keyboard Repair or Replacement
The keyboard is your primary interface with your Mac, and any issue here can be incredibly frustrating. Apple’s butterfly and Magic Keyboard designs have had their fair share of complaints over the years.
Common keyboard issues:
- Sticky, unresponsive, or stuck keys.
- Double typing or skipped keystrokes.
- Physical damage from spills or wear and tear.
Our Solution: We offer keyboard replacements and repairs using Apple-certified parts. For devices under the Keyboard Service Program, eligible models may qualify for free repairs or replacements. We also clean and troubleshoot minor issues for quick fixes.
3. Logic Board Repairs
The logic board (motherboard) is the heart of your Mac. It houses critical components like the CPU, GPU, and RAM. Logic board issues can result in complete system failure if left unattended.Symptoms of logic board problems:
- Failure to boot or random shutdowns.
- Overheating or loud fan noises.
- USB ports, Wi-Fi, or other components not working.
Our Solution: We perform diagnostics to identify the root cause of the issue. Depending on the damage, we can repair or replace the logic board with a genuine Apple part. Our technicians ensure that your data is protected during the repair process whenever possible.
4. Battery Replacement
Over time, your Mac’s battery may degrade, leading to shorter usage times or unreliable performance.
Signs you need a new battery:
- Rapid battery drain or sudden shutdowns.
- “Service Battery” warning in macOS.
- Physical swelling of the battery (a serious safety concern).
Our Solution: We offer genuine Apple battery replacements, restoring your MacBook’s battery life to its original capacity. After replacement, we test the device for performance and safety to ensure top functionality.
5. macOS Installation and Configuration
Software issues can often mimic hardware failure, causing performance lags, app crashes, or boot problems.
Common software-related issues:
- macOS failing to boot or freezing.
- Corrupted system files or malware.
- Incompatibility with third-party applications.
Our Solution: We provide macOS installation and reconfiguration services, ensuring your operating system is optimized for your device. Whether it’s upgrading to the latest macOS version or troubleshooting software bugs, we’ll get your Mac running smoothly.

Losing important files or data can be stressful, especially if they aren’t backed up to iCloud or an external drive.
When you might need data recovery:
- Accidental deletion or formatting of drives.

- Corrupted files or partitions.
Our Solution: Our team specializes in data recovery, whether it’s from a damaged hard drive, SSD, or external storage. We use advanced recovery tools to retrieve your files securely and efficiently.
