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.

My go-to for Mac issues!

Pablo is realiable, friendly and clearly very knowledgeable. When I had questions/worries about the security of my data while he looked at my laptop he was able to give me an honest and realistic answer, which was very appreciated. I recommend him to everyone.

Thanks Saoirse! Yes, the best bit about this job is the repeat clients- it tells me I’m doing something right, and that my efforts to sort out someone’s last issue must have been successful!

Apple Core are absolutely fantastic

Apple Core are absolutely fantastic. I had been a devoted PC user, but Pablo has converted me to Mac with generosity, care, and a level of customer service that the Genius Bar at Apple can’t touch. And incredibly reasonably priced. Huge recommend.

Hey Rufus! Many thanks for the review, I’m glad you came to me for your first Mac as I am perfectly placed to guide you through that set up process, as your local mac guy who can take support calls whenever you need to make them. :)

Fantastic service, fast and at a really good price!

When my screen broke on my MacBook, Applecore Services saved the day! They were incredibly efficient (turnaround time was vital to me), are very reasonably priced, and returned my laptop in perfect working condition. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

Really happy with the experience. My laptop started overheating days before my exam and Pablo quickly sorted it for the next day. He gave advice on how to prevent this from happening again and quickly replied to my texts after the service was completed.

Cheers Cesca! Always delighted to hear that I’ve outdone Apple. Quite honestly I simply aim to provide the service Apple provided in the 00’s when they were second to none.
