When a stranger at a coffee shop accidentally knocked over my drink and it flooded my MacBook Pro, I thought, "It'll be fine." It was not fine. A few hours later my keyboard and trackpad started glitching. Panic mode. I jumped on Yelp because I didn't have time to roll the dice at the Apple Genius Bar and potentially lose a full day. I needed my laptop for school work that was due the next day. That's when I found Joseph. Calling him a computer repair guy feels disrespectful. He's more like a laptop surgeon! We sat down and he thoroughly inspected everything, explained exactly what liquid damage does internally, and broke it down in a way that even a non-tech person like me could understand. He used simple analogies to explain why certain components fail after spills, which honestly made the whole situation feel less overwhelming. Because I was on a tight deadline, he moved fast. He replaced the top case so I could get up and running immediately. We're calling that "Phase 1" -- basically a strategic band-aid so I could meet my deadline. I'll be going back next week for a deeper repair and full internal assessment once I have more time. What impressed me most: * Clear communication * Honest recommendations (no upselling) * Quick turnaround * Confidence without ego And yes -- he operates out of his home garage. Don't let that throw you off. It's basically a science lab in there. I was genuinely impressed by the level of equipment and Apple parts he had. It felt more like a specialized workshop than a random garage setup. I live on the Westside of LA and made the drive and I'd absolutely do it again. When you find someone competent and trustworthy, distance doesn't matter. If you're dealing with liquid damage, keyboard issues, or any MacBook emergency, Joseph is the real deal. Professional, smart, efficient, and genuinely cares about getting you back up and running. Highly recommend. read more

UPDATE: There was a recent MacBook update and I guess it came with a feature that detects repairs and then runs a diagnostic to see if the repair is functioning properly. I just wanted to share the results: As you can see in the photo, my new display was labeled as a "genuine Apple part." I am more than satisfied with my repair and if you need any more convincing, use this photo to show that this is a trustworthy and reputable place to get your device repaired for an affordable price. read more

I had an amazing experience with Joseph and can't recommend him enough. I came to him with a cracked MacBook Pro screen on very short notice. I dropped it off at 10:30am, and by 4pm the same day he called to tell me it was ready. What really stood out was his flexibility. I mentioned I had work that night, and he told me I could come by after my shift to pick it up. That level of accommodation is rare and really meant a lot. Apple had quoted me over $850 and said I'd be without my laptop for over a week! Joseph was not only significantly more affordable, but also much quicker, and he uses genuine Apple parts (which you can verify in the system after the repair). On top of the fast turnaround and fair pricing, Joseph was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly very skilled at what he does. From start to finish, I felt like my device was in good hands. If you need any kind of laptop repair, I absolutely trust Joseph and would go back to him again without hesitation. Worth every penny. read more

QUICK turnaround to repair the keyboard of my MacBook Air. Great communication and fair price. Would recommend!

Outstanding service! Thank you so much Joseph for your purposeful work. I appreciate you saving my computer--specifically he did component level repairs--mother board of my Lenovo computer experienced short burn due to power shortage 2x last Monday, 04/28/25 and the component was replaced instead of replacing the whole board. I picked up my computer today, 04/30/25 and checked it which looks functioning very well now. Fast and efficient service, already fixed the night of 04/28/25! I value his knowledge and helpful tips on caring for my computer, especially on how to extend the battery life. I honor his generosity and cost-effective pricing for the repair. The home office was calm and relaxing. God bless! read more

My C-drive storage on my Windows 10 was almost filling up. I was trying to figure out ways to add room, like cleaning out temp and hidden files. I was constantly doing this daily to no avail, and I finally decided to try and find a place locally to hopefully fix my problem. So I did a search for a computer repair place, and MacRepair4U came up, and I took my hard drive there. I met with Joseph. He did a fantastic job! He actually copied my hard drive and upgraded it to a terabyte, which was awesome! Now, if I have any other issues, I'm definitely going to go back and have him update it,probably to Windows 11,and maybe I'll have to add additional storage. I'll most likely have him do my Mac as well, since he works on those already. MacRepair4U,I think they're reasonably priced as well. I definitely do recommend MacRepair4U. read more

It is a Friday night and I unfortunately threw my laptop on my bed as I was about to watch a movie. When I open my laptop, I noticed the screen was cracked and I was devastated as it was completely black and I've had my laptop for over three years with no issues ever. I was in panic mode, and I looked up so many places nearby. These places either didn't answer or hung right up on me. Of course the Apple Store has long ways because of the new iPhone. But I found the MAC & PC Computer Repair and Joseph answered right away. He was super nice and friendly, answered all my questions and is very reasonable. I dropped off my laptop to him at 8 PM and it was done in under two hours. My screen looks brand new with super great quality, and I am so happy for this little upgrade that I received from him. read more

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Joseph for the outstanding service provided in replacing my wife's 2020 MacBook Pro screen.

We are truly grateful for his exceptional service and highly recommend him to anyone in need of computer repairs. He gave us a very fair price and was flexible with different repair options. I'm glad he was able to replace my wife's computer so late at night so she could continue working the next day uninterrupted. read more

So in 2021 I came to this place of business to increase the memory on my computer. That was the initial problem. Next thing you know my screen fell twice! The second time the glass shattered and damaged the CPU. I told the guy what happened and he said it's my fault because I was probably playing loud music and it caused vibrations and I've had my computer for years and this never happened and was never the issue until I got it repaired by this business! I said whatever I need my computer for work so I paid him multiple times to fix his mistake. Then he gave me another computer with issues and it's now not even starting! All I wanted was my memory increased and this is the issues I'm dealing with. So then I got another computer he said it was the same and he lied and he gave me a computer that's years older than my original. I've been contacting him for months with no response. All I wanted was my memory expanded and this has been a nightmare! Just go to Apple and save some time and money! I will not recommend this business to my worst enemy! This guy is not accountable at all. read more

I was in need of repairing a monitor with a small crack. Unfortunately, the repair would cost more than the monitor itself. I just needed a quick answer of a range without driving out and learning that the cost would exceed the repair. I contacted multiple listings on yelp, and this service specifically gave me a concise and practical answer. Now this monitor is going to be recycled. read more

Sorry Yelp, you got this one wrong. I saw the 5 star reviews and felt confident bringing my MacBook here for a new battery but my experience has been very disappointing. I paid $150 for him to replace the battery with what appears to be an even worse battery than I had. The first battery he provided did not work at all and only held a charge for 1 hour until a "service battery" warning. I returned the next day: The second battery he installed does not hold a charge for more than 2 hours and jumps from 75% to 23% in minutes. When I asked for info about the batteries he used, he refused to tell me whether the battery was new/used and who the manufacturer was. He just said that it's a working battery but he was unable to provide a box, receipt, warranty or any info related to the "new" battery he installed. I continued to have problems and after several texts, many of which he responded to days later, his solution was to restart my computer (which of course did nothing). I wound up wiping the computer and reinstalled my whole OS and the battery still fails. In fact, even when it's plugged in, it loses a charge. He also put some kind of sticker on my screen which left residue I haven't been able to remove. To this day, several weeks later, the battery does not charge properly and does not hold a charge. I paid $150 and I'm in a worse situation than I was before I took my computer here. Also, he also refused to provide a receipt despite several requests and when I asked him repeatedly to fix the battery, he told me that I was outside of the 30-day window that he guarantees (even though I reported that it wasn't working within that window). His failure to prove that the battery he installed was new and his refusal to provide me with a receipt are two big red flags. I'm worse off and $150 poorer for bringing my computer here. I should have paid a little bit more to have Apple do it, at least they would have given me a receipt and stood behind their work. read more

I have a fairly high end PC that I believed was shorting out because it was turning off. Joseph quickly and calmly quoted me for the labor over the phone, re-assured me that he had experience with such repairs and told me to bring it in the same day. Within a day, he quickly identified and repaired 3 shorts on my motherboard, which saved me from having to replace my pricey components. He was very friendly and did not add any unnecessary repairs and even did a fantastic job with cable management and routing cables the way I had them prior. Joseph's quick and professional work exceeded my expectations. 10/10 would recommend to a friend. read more

Joseph was such a pleasure to work with! Talk about fast turnaround I dropped my laptop off and had it returned same day to me. Called about 15 places to get my MacBook Pro 13 inch 2019 retina screen replaced after a small crack that rendered it useless. I received a ton of varying qoute from 450-700 to get it fixed. Thank god for the one last call I made because Joseph was well below that as far as pricing. Honest work, got it done in a day, saved me from buying another laptop. Thanks again! read more

Joseph is friendly and answers all your questions. He's like your local trustworthy mechanic but for computers. I have an older macbook that had stopped turning on. I took it to joseph and he was able to identify the battery needed replacement and to fix a part of the motherboard. It cost $400 total. He was able to fix it in one day. Joesph told me that if any issues come up to let him know right away. The next day i received it, i noticed it was still having some issues. He was very reassuring and trustworthy with his advice so I didn't hesitate to message him once there was issues again. So, I told him and gave it back to him. Within another day, he was able to fix it again. There must have been another issue with the battery so he reinstalled another one. That did the trick and my computer is new again. It's comforting knowing the person working on your computers is a good person and is doing what's right instead of a big company looking to rip you off. I won't hesitate to go back if my computer or someone close to me has issues. He also seems to respond quicker over a call vs texting just fyi. read more

So so thankful how efficient and quickly he was able to get my laptop up and working. Hopefully won't need to come back for awhile but if I do..I'm definitely coming here! Very nice man! read more

Joseph Abbas is a FRAUD. A polite fraud, but a scammer nonetheless. I'm so frustrated that I ever went to this person for a repair. About a year ago, I reached out to Joseph for a screen repair because my MacBook screen would fall back. He "fixed it" and a few months later, I still had problems with my screen wiggling and blacking out. So, I took it to him again and he "fixed it" and literally 2 weeks later, it was still wobbly. I asked him what he can do, and he suggested I come back for a full screen replacement, to pay hundreds on top of what I paid. Mind you, I'm already over $500 in for this screen and now he wants more to replace it. I took it to the Apple Store today, because it will shut down for no reason until I plug it in, and it thinks it's dead when it's not. They confirmed it's my screen, surprise surprise. Joseph cost me hundreds of dollars and never resolved my issue and if anything, made my screen WORSE!! Hundreds down the drain for nothing. Update: I did not break my screen again, Joseph. I'm not playing hockey with it. All I do is type. My screen was experiencing problems with blacking out. I came to you. I received it, and a couple months later, I realized it wasn't screwed in right, because it was wobbly and fell back without support. I had to wait months to bring it back to you because I was traveling. When I brought it back, you "fixed it", and although the screen doesn't fall back, it still wobbles. When I reached out again, you wanted me to come back for another repair. I took it to Apple and they told me it's a screen problem. It's always been the same underlying issue, and when I brought it to you, it was not a one stop shop approach, and I'm not going to keep coming back. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me three times, I'd deserve it. Thanks for your service. read more

I have a 2017 Macbook Pro. I am a business and career coach so I use my laptop a lot. My laptop started getting hot, the fan loud and my laptop needing to always be charged by the chord. I knew it was a battery issue, then one day my laptop stopped charging cause of the heat. Unfortunately we live in a world where if something is broken, let's go buy a new one. For a Macbook pro that usually costs $2k. But as a business owner you need to think, "Do I really need to spend that much?" I knew it was a battery issue, so I gave it a shot and Joseph was so helpful. I saved so much money, he was nice, polite and explained what I should do to maintain the longevity of my laptop. I know laptops eventually die but I want to make it last as long as I can like a honda and toyota. I am so grateful for Joseph. He also did a fast turn around within the next day vs. Apple Repair Store. I highly recommend him for great service, saving money, and fast turnaround. read more
