Mac Repair for Central, Oregon
Is it under warranty?
If your computer is broken the first question to ask is “Is it under warranty?” Apple computers come with a one year warranty on all hardware (good for non-accident hardware failures). You also may have purchased a 3-year Apple Care plan. If your computer is covered it is usually best to take it to an Apple repair site and get it fixed for free. If you need help, we can coordinate sending it in to Apple for you.
What to do if your warranty has expired?
This is where Mactek can help you out! Just give us a call at 541-848-3103 and we’ll get it fixed. Either schedule an appointment, stop by the shop, or we can even come to your house! We’ll tell you what’s wrong, fix it, or explain your options. We are experts on Computer Repair.
House Calls cost $124 an hour plus the replacement parts if needed.
Some services we offer:
Hard Drive Upgrade
If you are out of room on your hard drive we can help. Hard drive storage has come down in cost significantly over the last few years. What used to cost $1000, you can now buy for just over $100! We will install it and transfer all your data to the new hard drive. It is also a good time to upgrade your old fashioned HDD to a new SSD drive. They are much faster (20 to 30 times) and more reliable. This is the best way to fix a “slow” computer.
RAM Upgrade
If you commonly run multiple programs at once or have huge iPhoto libraries, RAM will drastically speed up your computer. All new computers ship with at least 4 gigs of RAM, because new software is more demanding on your computer. It is quite easy to upgrade and that is why it is so cheap. If you are buying a new computer and are thinking about upgrading RAM, check with us first. Most of the time it is cheaper to buy the lower end model and have us upgrade the RAM after you get it.
Upgrade Operating System
If your computer is out of date you are more vulnerable to internet threats. Also things like flash and java all require up to date operating systems. Apple is very good at cutting off support for old hardware and software. Don’t be left behind.
