Written by the company

I began fixing computers and consoles as a hobby 25 years ago for fun, just to see what made things 'tick'. It grew from that to what is now a full time endeavour. I'm passionate about ensuring a safe future for my son, concerned about the choices we make and the impact on the planet we live on. AppleCore Services tries to create the most efficient use of e-waste possible. Every part has a use, we throw away approximately one shopping bag of landfill waste every 10 weeks. Everything else is either re-used or recycled. I specialise in all things Apple- iPhones, MacBook, iMacs, iPads, Mac Pro, but can take anything you have to give. I can repair & recondition your tech and dispose of (or even recover) lost data.

Fast, effective and value for money service

Pablo replied to my initial message swiftly, identified the problem, allowed me to drop off my laptop one day and take it back early the next with the problem solved. All for a very reasonable price. Excellent service and customer care.

Top notch diagnosis and problem solving

I had a tricky, mysterious problem with my Macbook. Semi-techie son couldn't solve it. Thanks AppleCore, brilliant work, fast, accurate, solved the problem. Would have been really difficult to get to an Apple store. Thank goodness you are there.

Friendly competence

I have been using AppleCore Services for all my computing needs for two years now. Mending hard drives, reconditioning cables, replacing my Mac battery, if you're a person who likes improving things and loves low prices, with a penchant for careful guidance and a desire for patient advice, then this is the place for you.

Excellent personalised service!!

Bought a secondhand MacBook Pro from Pablo (AppleCore). High spec 2015 model and at a fraction of the cost of something as powerful these days. And has been perfect with no issues, and Pablo was available to ensure all the software was up and running after a change in the operating system. Really pleased with the service and product provided. Will definitely use AppleCore for any repairs or machines in the future. Great that experts and small businesses like this still exist! Keep it up Pablo!

This is the service you want when your apple machine breaks down. Friendly, resourceful, flexible, personal, expert service. Someone genuinely committed to sorting your machine requirements.
