They allowed me to trade in for a immediate credit towards a new laptop.
I told the repair person that my MacBook kept shutting itself off after a few seconds and asked if it could be repaired, and, if so, for how much. He connected my laptop to Tekserve's system, and diagnostic software indicated in seconds that the rechargeable laptop battery had gone bad. On removing the old battery, he pointed out it was not just bad, it was also bulging, maybe putting pressure on my laptop's components. He told me, however, that the bulging aspect seemed recent and since the battery hadn't leaked yet, a new battery would probably make my MacBook useable again.
He offered 2 options: I could get a new Apple replacement battery, or for a few dollars less, buy another maker's compatible replacement battery. I opted for the cheaper replacement. Tekserve also offered to recycle the cardboard packaging my new battery came in and to recycle my old battery. That saved me from having to lug home the heavy almost exploding battery only to worry about its safe disposal. If I need to exercise the new battery's 1-year replacement guarantee, the necessary info is included in Tekserve's system with the bill of sale.
So, my 6-yr old MacBook is working again--I'm using it to write this review--for much less than the price of a new laptop.
I'm a repeat user of Tekserve going on 10 or so years. I don't think I've ever been looked after by the same staffer twice, but every staffer I've met--including the guy wearing multiple facial studs, black eyeliner and matching nail polish--has been friendly, attentive, efficient, organized, remarkably proficient in all things Apple and Apple compatible, and never pushed a product on me (I believe Tekserve sales people do not operate on commission.) I recommend going to an Apple Store to try out Apple products. But to buy or repair them, go to Tekserve.
I love my iPhone, but I also love my PC. I only wish they would do more work with PC's not just Apple products.
They were excellent. I probably spent less than $200 for the repair work. They were wonderful and I loved them. I am going to miss them since they are in New York and I have moved now. They just do Mac and that’s one thing people should know if they are looking for a Mac place. I first went to the Apple store for the work, but they wanted to keep my computer and I was in the middle of a big project for work. They actually recommended that I go to Tekserve because they have loaner laptops. If you are having a repair done, you either don’t have to pay for it all or it’s like a really minor charge. If you ever need a loaner laptop, then it is $100 a week, which is really reasonable. You can make sure that the loaner has everything on it that you need. I am a graphic designer. So, they made sure that the one that I got had all the programs on it and it was wonderful. They are really nice and they explain everything to you. You do have to wait in line. You come in and there is a person right at the door. You will then get a number depending on whether you are looking to purchase something or you need repair work. They have a place where you can sit down, but you would never know how long the wait is going to be and the wait can be a while. It was the same at the other store and so, it is just the way that is. They were really good in responding and they were good all around. They were on time. In fact, they completed my job early. Their professionalism was excellent too.
