2017 iMac 27" 5K died on Tuesday (power supply). Spoke to Tony on Wednesday and by Friday lunchtime I've got it back, looking like new, power supply replaced and as a precaution, the iffy Fusion drive sidelined for a new 1TB SSD drive. Very impressed and I fully recommend Animacs. Dom.
Tony was brilliant, responded to my email quickly and outside normal working hours. Great communication. Managed to fix my daughter's iPad after she trod on it shattering the screen and bending it. He was upfront about the issues with fixing but managed to do a brilliant job and saved the finger print recognition too. Quick turn around, reasonably priced would 100% recommend. Thanks.
This gentleman was recommended to me and I can see why. He messaged me back within minutes and was able to look at my son’s iPhone straight away! In no time at all his phone was fixed. We will definitely be recommending this gentleman to family and friends in the future.
Really good service, detailed prompt service with updates. Good value recommendation.
Tony is literally the Saviour of Macs. After miraculously resurrecting mine after spilling an entire cup of coffee into mine, it now works better than ever. Tony is a very enlightened professional, kept me updated and calm, and at all times asked me before he proceeded with any costs. It doesn't get better than this if you have the unfortunate experience of something going wrong with your Mac.
I had my 2011 MacBook pro screen replaced, the really nice and very knowledgeable man replaced my screen on the same day for an excellent price. When I had and issue with the camera he sorted that out the next day and upgraded the operating system. Highly recommend!
Tony has repaired multiple Apple devices for myself, family and friends. We first met when he miraculously revived a brand new MacBook Air in 2013 which had ingested a large glass of wine via the keyboard and appeared beyond economical repair. Tony was able to strip it down, essentially wash it and return it to full function within 24 hours for a fraction of the cost to replace it. It still works as of 2022! The most recent job was on a 2013 MacBook Pro i7 I inherited from another family member. I received it non-functional, managed to get it going but it was always a bit 'twitchy'. It subsequently started crashing and throwing up errors before failing completely. On the journey over it was closed but had not shut down, as it was in a laptop bag it overheated beyond anything I've seen before and I had pretty much lost any hope of recovery. Again Tony cleaned it out, finding a sticky foreign liquid/liquids in the internals ( it was previously used by my niece and nephew) which he removed as part of a full service restoring it to health. As always his price was beyond reasonable, the work above criticism and I was given some useful advice on housekeeping my device! If you have Apple devices please please call Tony before going to some rip-off cowboy kiosk or high street shop, they often have no idea what they are doing, use substandard parts and unapproved repair techniques as well as cheerfully charging you more. My local shop offers 'Professional Mac repair and servicing' - when I spoke to the owner he told me he had 'always wanted to have a proper look in a Pro' - thanks but no thanks. Tony has more experience in his little finger than anyone I have dealt with at the unfortunately titled 'Genius Bar' and as a bonus doesn't talk to the customer like they are stupid or unworthy of his time.Moreexpand_more
I first started using Animacs in 2010/11 when I had problems after installing MacKeeper on my Macbook Pro. After Tony's reiteration on my poor judgement in doing he soon resolved the the issues and removed the offending software. I ran my own consulting company and only used Apple hardware so it made sense to direct all my IT issues to Animacs. Over the years Tony has provided excellent support and reinvigorated aging Macbooks and iMac's by replacing the DVD with an SSDs plus other more standard tweaks as increasing RAM. I cannot praise Animacs enough and will not take my beloved Macs anywhere else.
I had been perservering and struggling with a grindingly slow iMac for some time and eventually decided to do something about it. A couple of folks both recommended Tony at Animacs and within 2 days my machine is back with me and working at lightning speed. Tony is very responsive to messages and offers a great service at a very good price. I wouldn't hesitate to use Animacs again or recommend to anyone with Mac problems.
My MacBook Air totally died over the weekend, I had been on and off the phone to Apple trying to arrange an appointment which was going to cost a large amount and also be in a totally different city. Thank you to Animacs (who I found this morning) it has been repaired and is back with me on the same day and all for a great price! Will recommend to anyone with Apple products! Thank you again.
I spilt wine on my MacBook Pro over a year ago, it completely died and would not restart. I took it to Apple for a quote to get it fixed and was quoted £1000. I Couldn't afford to get it fixed so it sat in the drawer for the year until I heard about Animacs, within hours of it being worked on I picked it back up and it was basically brand new for a total cost of £40! I am so happy and couldn't be more grateful!
Thank you again Tony for fixing my MacBook Pro - as soon as it failed to switch on I knew who to call. Apple told me I would need to take it to the Genius Bar. I knew they would no doubt tell me to dump it and buy a new one, but this was the first issue I had with the Mac since I bought it in 2014! Tony identified the logic board needed replacing and got it done for me - I'm eternally grateful to have it back in full working order. Thank you again.
My Mac was showing all signs of being on the way out, it was slowing down to the point I couldn't do any task without constant whirring. I then realised that my back-up had not been set up correctly (by me) and I was in danger of losing my files. Tony was recommended to me and I delivered my Mac to him last Wednesday, he took it away and sorted it really quickly. He managed to get all the data off my computer and also put in a new Driver - (it took over 70 hours to get the data off as my Mac was so slow and dying! ) I got it back on the Saturday. I am now writing this from my up-dated computer, it's great and very fast. He saved me from having to buy a new Mac. Fantastic. He's very good at his job.
Amazing man took my sons iPad to have screen replaced and mentioned my daughter had a MacBook Air that had stopped working Apple basically said it wasn’t worth fixing but were happy to look at it for a charge and buying a new one would be a better option left it with this man and a week later it was back and working like new and nowhere near as much as what Apple wanted to charge. I now have have a very happy 16 year old as she had some gcse work on there which she can now submit towards her grade I couldn’t thank him enough and would highly recommend him.
