Keane offers walk-in and repair services for all Apple Macintosh products, including MacBook Pro, MacBook, PowerBook, iBook, Mac Mini, iMac, Mac Pro and Power Mac models. Mail in service is available for all Apple products other than iMac, Mac Pro and Power Mac models.
What is your repair turnaround time?
Repair turnaround for most Mac repairs averages about 2 business days. Repair turnaround can vary based on the nature of the repair and current repair volume. For customers desiring the quickest repair turnaround possible, our "Next In Queue" rush service is available.
I don't know what's wrong, do you offer diagnostic services?
Yes we do. Our Diagnostic Service is designed to help get your Mac back up and running ASAP. Our experienced Apple-Certified repair technicians will perform a complete service diagnostic on your Mac, and provide a comprehensive quote of the repairs needed. Lightning fast, often within 24 hours!
What do you mean when you say "business days?" Does this include weekends and holidays?
When we quote repair times as "next day", "overnight" , etc. we are referring to business days. Generally business days are Monday through Friday. While we are open on weekends (and sometimes holidays), this is for computer drop off and pickup only. All holiday closures or changes to our business hours will be posted clearly on our website ahead of time. Finally, if you have ordered a hard drive repair or upgrade service with data transfer and data recovery, completion of the repair could be delayed until the data transfer or recovery is complete.
What is your "Rush" service? When will my computer be ready?
We recognize that being without your computer can be difficult, and that downtime can be costly to your business or lifestyle. In order to better serve customers needing immediate assistance our "Next In Queue" Rush Service bumps your order to the front of the repair queue where it will be our technician's top priority until it is completed. Please be advised that Rush Service refers to repair start time only -- as with any repair the completion time could be delayed by data transfer or recovery, availability of parts, and other issues beyond our control.
What is your data recovery success rate?
A successful data recovery depends largely on the physical condition of the drive. As each drive failure is different we cannot estimate the success of an individual recovery, however our overall data recovery success rate is over 80%!
Do I need to provide my AC adapter, keyboard, mouse or OS installation discs?
Usually not. However if the issue you are experiencing is related to an attached peripheral or a problem related to powering or charging the computer, you should include the associated device. There is no need to include your original discs, but if you have upgraded the operating system on the computer please provide your retail OS discs for license verification.
Do you repair iPhones? iPods? iPads?
At this time, we do not repair iPods, iPhones or iPads. If you have one of these devices and require service we suggest visiting your nearest Apple Store.
Do you repair Non-Apple computers/laptops?
As an Apple Authorized Service Provider, Keane specializes on servicing Apple Macintosh products. We are not currently servicing computers from other manufacturers.
Are your parts new/used/refurbished?
What forms of payment do you accept?
