I needed to get my cracked displayed repaired on my MacBook. This was my experience with the Apple Store in Cherry Creek: - First go to the store for a diagnostic appointment where they confirmed that my screen was indeed cracked - They order the part and set up an appointment for me to come drop my computer off 5 days later. - Despite having an appointment, I waited over an hour and had to leave due to restraints. They then released the part and I had to start the process over again with a new diagnostic appointment (as if my screen wasn't still broken) With Denver Mac Repair: - Dropped it off at 5:30PM Friday afternoon - Was ready for pickup Monday at 3pm Not to mention they were ~$70 cheaper than Apple. These guys are legends, support local and go here.

Great professional care. They provided a lot of attention and care to help us resolve a persistent computer issue (security breach / possible hacking on personal computer). Thank you for going above and beyond and helping us feel safe using home laptop again.

Truly Exceptional Service After more than six years, I finally got my MacBook Pro back to life—and I couldn’t be more grateful to Denver Mac Repair. The staff was absolutely awesome: knowledgeable, skilled, professional, honest, and genuinely caring. In a world where people with true expertise and integrity can feel increasingly rare, these guys reminded me that they still exist. They didn’t just repair my computer—they woke it back up after six years and brought back something I had almost given up on. That meant a lot to me. Thank you, Denver Mac Repair, for your incredible work and for treating me with such honesty and professionalism. You guys are truly the best, and I highly recommend you to anyone who needs Mac repair!

All I can say is wow! My son accidentally dropped his iPhone in a river while on a backpacking trip. Turns out his iCloud backup had not been set up properly, and three years of pictures had been potentially lost. The guys at Denver Mac Repair got everything up and running and transferred to a new phone. These guys are awesome, knowledgeable, professional, and their pricing was very fair. Thank you!

Incredible neighborhood computer store. My dad worked with one company for my whole childhood, and i spent a LOT of time with him have only found big box stores since, so i've been looking for a space that is as supportive as that business from my childhood....and I found it here! Great technicians, who share information freely and without arrogance, great prices and better location. Love this store

I had a great experience, I dropped my iPhone in the hotel pool and it wouldn't turn back on. My cloud storage was full and Mac said they could do nothing about my files. I took my phone to Denver Mac and Christopher said they'd try to get the data off for me, he seemed very positive even said it worked 90% of the time. Two days later I got a call from AJ and he had all my family's vacation photos on a thumb stick and back to me before our flight. Christopher and AJ were both friendly and awesome! I don't know if I'll be back to Denver but if anyone is headed that way with an iPhone Denver Mac is the place.

Super impressed! My son lost some keys on his Mac book. Apple quoted us $800 and weren’t sure they could even be fixed. Denver Mac repair had it done within hours and we only paid $35. Will definitely be back!
