If you're anything like me, you've accumulated macbook pros over the course of the past few years. Things happen: drives need to be replaced and sometimes logic boards and batteries crap out. You don't necessarily need the newest mac, and if you're looking to macsimize (see what I did there) the life of your machines, talk to YeaMac when it comes time for repairs. I've taken imacs and macbook pros there and they always do a thoughtful and thorough job. read more

From Monday 24jun2021: what a waste of my time, jay! What part of my request was not understood in the quote? Hi there, please respond with a price estimate. Here are my answers to Yelp's questions regarding my project: What brand is your device? Apple What model is your device? Se 2020 What do you need repaired? Select all that apply.

I have a dead 2016 MacBook pro. No power. I took it to the Apple store and they did a diagnostic, including bringing it into the back, opening up the computer, and disconnecting the battery to snoop around to see if they could see anything wrong. They even did diagnostics in front of me using another Mac connected to mine. They said it was most likely a dead logic board. Approximately a $700 repair. I didn't want to put that much money into a such an old computer, but I also didn't really need the features of a new one, so I decided to look for other options and came across yeamac. I brought my computer in and the man working the counter greeted me right away. I gave him a rundown of what I just said above about what the Apple store did. The man offered to take it in and do a diagnostic for $75. He said the $75 diagnostic fee could be applied to a repair if I decided to repair it. I was hoping to get a free diagnostic, as I didn't really want to put any money into this thing if I wasn't going to get it fixed, but I understand that a smaller shop needs to charge for such a thing compared to a giant like Apple. I chatted with the guy a little bit telling him more about the troubleshooting the Apple store already did. He offered to look up yeamac's prices for a logic board repair and replacement for me, which I appreciated. The repair was $400 something and the replacement was $700 something. After he told me the prices, I decided that it wasn't worth fixing and was getting ready to pack up. The guy at the counter said I could let him do some tests on it, that the issue could be the battery, which would be a much cheaper repair. I repeated for a second time that the Apple store had unplugged the battery and plugged the computer directly to a power source and it still didn't turn on, so that it was very unlikely that the battery was the problem. The guy said that he doesn't know how they could have possibly done that, because in order to disconnect the battery on this model you have to take the logic board out. At at this point, either the Apple store lied to me about what they did to troubleshoot it, or this guy was lying to me or simply didn't know what he was talking about. He was trying to convince me to leave the computer with him so he could confirm whether or not it was a battery or the logic board or something else. It's worth noting he wasn't being pushy or rude, just persistent. Keep in mind I would still have to pay the $75 diagnostic fee if I let him take a look. By now, I had gotten a little turned off to the whole situation because I didn't really think the Apple store would have lied to me about something so simple, and I wasn't really ready to part with $75 just to have them tell me the same thing the Apple store already told me. So I packed up and left. The first thing I did after leaving the store was go to iFixit and look up the battery repair for my particular model. Keep in mind I said multiple times what model my computer was and the guy had it in his hands so he could see it as well. Lo and behold, you do not need to remove the logic board to unplug the battery. So the Apple store was telling the truth about what they did. Do I think the guy at this place was intentionally lying to me? No, probably not. Do I think he should have confirmed what he was saying before asking me to pay him to look at it? Most definitely. Had I listened to him and given him my computer to diagnose it, I would have wasted at least $75. I know how a bad review in a sea of five-star reviews looks. I'm sure this place does great work and that they're generally an honest group. However, in my particular experience, I was given verifiably wrong information and was recommended to spend money for them to give me information that was already known. I worked professionally repairing Macs for about 5 years. It was a while ago, starting around 2010, but I still have enough experience to know what the right thing to do for the customer is. In this particular instance, yeamac did not do what was right for the customer. read more

This is the place you're looking for for computer repair -- my water bottle leaked in my backpack, so my MacBook was basically sitting in a puddle for an hour before I discovered it. Dried it out over a couple weeks and even tho it was still working, just wanted to make sure the insides were ok (eg corrosion damage). Brought it in, and for the $75 diagnostic they took it apart and closely examined it for corrosion. In the process they also cleaned the computer's insides of dust and cleaned out the headphone and usb c ports which had some minor water damage. I really appreciate their transparent communication, clear pricing expectations, and laser fast turnaround. Thanks Ricardo and Yeamac team! read more

The folks at CleverTech were awesome today. I had dropped my old phone in such a way that half of the screen no longer responded to touch. Eep! I was lucky that I already had a new phone to transfer data to, courtesy of my partner giving me his phone once he upgraded. But I needed help getting my data from the old phone that I couldn't even log into now to the new phone. The folks at CleverTech got the job done, and they even were able to use a "temporary screen" to port the data over, so that I didn't have to pay to fix the old phone. All they charged me was $55 labor which is way reasonable! And they got it done fast - I brought it in at 12:30pm and it was ready and waiting by the time I came back at 4:00pm. They were friendly and quick and efficient and I am very happy with their service. I hope I don't have any more phone issues for a long time but if I do I know where I am taking it to be repaired. Thanks guys! :D read more

I had an issue with my phone pretty much dying on me while I was at the gym. I tried doing the usual restarting method and plugging it into my computer, but there was no luck there. I didn't have a recent back up so this was really stressing me out. I even went as far as downloading and paying for a software called "REIboot" to try and get at least my photos back (I was stressed...), and again, no luck there. I guess the next solution was to make an appointment for the Genius Bar with Apple as they were my last hope. All the did was run some tests and told me it wasn't turning on, and without AppleCare, they said they would replace it for $530 and all my stuff would be gone. Even the employee said he wouldn't recommend it if I was spending half of what I'd be paying for a new phone already. They recommended I go to a place called File Data Savers in Fremont, but that location was no longer there. I went to the one in Santa Clara. There was nothing they could do either as the phone wouldn't charge or connect to the computer. They were the ones who recommended me here! CleverTech was the only place who helped me, and the only ones who opened up my phone to check what was wrong! They found it was the display, and got it fixed really quick. Total time from drop off to phone fixed was probably less than 24 hours. Screen replacement for my iPhone 12 Pro + installation was only $210 total! Honestly, couldn't recommend them enough now. Update: 2/14 - I found out that they put an LCD display in instead of the usual OLED because I noticed the quality difference and such. I found another spot that was doing it for a better price and they ended up price matching them too because it'd be easier to finish the job with them! Paying and extra $40 to change from LCD to OLED! Not bad. read more

I recently got my iPad Mini screen replaced by CleverTech. David went above and beyond taking care of my device. The new screen and home button is working perfectly and I couldn't be more pleased with their expertise and service! Thank you CleverTech! read more

Awesome hope Mauricio was so helpful. They have also many parts and refurbished computers

Jonathan checked iphone 6plus and advised no need for new battery (showed 96%) and he showed us how to check background refresh under general. He turned it off as he said apps keep refreshing and slows speed. Wonderful & caring person you are Jonathan. Thankyou! read more

One of my favorite businesses in Burlingame. So happy to have a local place to repair Apple products, and help keep them out of the landfill. The service is always amazing. Everyone I've interacted with here is helpful & friendly. Today, I brought in my daughter's MacBook to fix the trackpad. It was a quick fix, and didn't require any parts, so there was no charge. Love this place! read more

They fixed my power Mac twice. Quick turnaround, friendly service and a fair price. Proof, you don't t always need to get a new computer. read more

I'm going to go ahead and give this place 5 stars for being my mac data-retrieving savior. After spilling nail polish remover all over my Macbook Air and going through all the phases (shock, denial, anger, acceptance I was getting a new macbook), I came here after my Apple Genius Bar appointment. While the staff at genius bar at the actual Apple store are pretty helpful, they don't really help much with data retrieval if your computer doesn't start correctly and the keyboard was all messed up from the damage. They gave me a business card to a number that said retrieval would cost somewhere between $700-2300 (basically the cost of 2 new macbooks).That's when I came to YeaMac to see I could at least retrieve important documents. I basically just stopped by on a Friday afternoon with my computer. For $200 (if they are successful; free if they cannot retrieve the data), they literally saved my life and retrieved my files within two hours. I just had to pay extra for a portable harddrive to obtain my files in (which I will def use to backup in the future to prevent this whole mess). So with all my data back and my new macbook now, I'm giving this place 5 billion stars! read more

Very friendly and great prices! The truly are Mac experts. I trust them with all of my Apple products read more

Mauricio really helped us out! Our camera glass was broken and he was able to replace it in 30 minutes for $90. He also cleaned our phone free of charge and gave us a screen protector. Thank you! read more

Great business good service he helped me out with my iPad. Got my black screen off and it works great I recommend him for everybody.

This place is the best! They replaced my cracked iPhone screen in under 1 hour. They were extremely nice and professional. They warranty all of their work, I wouldn't go anywhere else for iPhone repair! read more

Great service with quick results. They talked about pros/cons of replacing vs repairing. Repaired my MacBook Pro for a much better price. I'll be back the next time I'm careless about handling beverages around computers. read more

Great service, great prices, especially for both location( is an upscale neighborhood ) and the fact that they are exclusive to apple products. Have had them repair iPhone screen plus replacement battery and fix the screen on my MacBook Pro. More than reasonable and promptly tended to. read more

A couple of years ago, my old Mac Pro crashed and I was unable to restart it. Of course, I wanted to save what was on the hard drive, but Apple wouldn't touch it_saying that it was outdated. Well I took a walk down the block and found Yeah! Mac. Not only did they get it working again, but it was an inexpensive fix. They also replaced one of my iPhones cracked glass, again, at a reasonable price. I will continue to go to them for all of my Apple needs. Additionally, the staff is friendly, and incredibly helpful.

Called and went in for a battery replacement for my mid-2010 MacBook Pro. It was estimated to be either a next day or really late same day return. I dropped off my laptop and went to run errands around the area. I get a phone call about 20 minutes later saying my MacBook was ready for pick up! - Customer service was fantastic. - Prices were good (battery replaced with genuine Apple parts) - Return time was super fast! (I could've just been lucky) Definitely going to consider them again for futures upgrades to my hardware. read more

Just had a second great repair experience with CleverTech. They're consistently communicative, experienced, and accommodating (e.g., they facilitated doing a dropoff of my phone for a very reasonable extra fee, even though they usually only drop off larger devices). Thanks! read more

I tried to get my iphone battery replaced at the Apple store. After an hour of waiting, they told me the phone had water damage and that "it smelled like coffee". I've never spilled anything on my phone before. They refused to swap out the battery. I immediately went on Yelp! to find another place and yea!mac popped up. Within minutes Jay responded to my request and told me they could do the battery replacement within an hour for 60 bucks. Battery health is now back to 100%. Thanks for bringing my old phone back to life! read more

Professional, friendly, and (most importantly) COMPETENT. A huge thank you to Will and Jay. I brought in my phone after I wrecked it. In less than 30 minutes, it was 100% again. They had the correct parts in stock and they got it done right. read more

Super place, broke my screen protector today. Found this chill place and got it replaced for 10.00 bucks. Not bad. Price is worth the stop for sure. Thanks guys. read more

My iPhone 6 was having connection/charging issues so I requested a quote from CleverTech. I received a response from Ricardo in 25 minutes. I thought I had cleaned out the charging port but apparently not well enough. Handed my phone to Ricardo and he had the port properly cleaned and working and back in my hands in a couple of minutes. He didn't even charge me a cent, a very welcome surprise since I was expecting to pay ~$70 for a new charging port. Thanks, Ricardo! read more

Once again, YeaiMac (Will) to the rescue. I tried updating my 11" MacBook, and it got stuck on a grey screen everytime it tried to restart and update the computer. Anyway, brought it in and Will was able to get it done in less than a few hours. He also had time within the same day to fix my sister's MacBook air screen that was cracked. Super friendly staff and they are very informative when it comes to problems with the computer and even how to do certain things on these macs. For my 15" touch bar MacBook, Will told me to have Apple check it out because they would be able to fix it for free without me having to pay Yeaimac to do it. I went to apple down the street, and sure enough, they told me it would free of charge to replace my keyboard. How honest can you get? I've always had an excellent experience with these guys! read more

I have an old (2010) MacBook Pro. About three months ago, I started having problems with the trackpad. I brought it to the Genius Bar and had a fix that lasted less than a week. The Genius told me that my computer would be made obsolete in nine days, so when the problem reappeared, I thought I would have to buy a new one, which I could not afford. So, I limped along until one day one of my students told me she has her computers repaired inexpensively at Yea!Mac (this business's former name). I went to the website, filled in the problem description, and received a reply within an hour. I brought the computer in the next day. Not only did the technicians fix my computer, but they also noted and fixed some missing screws and loose parts that were causing other problems with the Bluetooth and videocamera. Topping it all off, they put my computer in a protective drawstring bag, which I got to keep. The techs respond quickly and are both friendly and thorough. The prices are fair. I highly recommend. read more

Hello All; I took my iPhone in for repair, and received friendly, high quality service. David was absolutely great, he explained everything concerning my phone, gave me multiple options, the communication was great and all commitments were honored! Even though the store is in Palo Alto, it's great to drive a little, and receive the wonderful service I received! They repair many electronic devices, phones and computers. I was also given advice on how to get better performance from my Mac! If there were ten's here I would give a ten! read more

Best place ever! when apple voided my warranty due to water damage they saved my computer!!they did so for me again with a real bad water damage issue. very affordable & great customer service. read more

I recently moved to Sacramento; and started having battery issues along with the fan continuously running on my MacBook Air. I had plans to come back out to the Bay Area for a few days, and I decided to bring my computer with me to have Yea!Mac take a look. I had used them before and my overall experience has always been top-notch, especially their customer service. This time around, I'm especially grateful for their HONESTY. They did some trouble-shooting and explained that I might need a new battery which would have been $200. My laptop was old enough where I was probably due for one. This was news I was dreading as I'm currently on unemployment (like so many others). I got a call back and after a few tests with a new battery and then putting my old battery back in, my laptop was brought back to life! No new battery needed! Generally speaking, I assume companies like this would be honest, but I certainly don't take it for granted, as I've been burned before, from car dealers and other businesses. They could have easily just said that I need a new battery, pop it in, and then charge me the $200; and I never ever would have known. It's sad to have to call it out, but these days it should definitely be recognized when a business actually cares and does the right thing for its customers. THANK YOU Yea!Mac for having super awesome employees and for keeping INTEGRITY at the forefront. read more

In August, 2020, my Macbook started acting up and after a couple of days with Apple techs, I decided to go with Clevertech. They promptly picked up the Mac from my house, kept me updated on the progress of repairs, and dropped off the fully functional MacBook at my house, per the tight schedule. In April, 2021, after 9 months I had another issue with the same Mac, not their fault... they again picked up the Macbook and after repairs dropped it off at my house in 48 hours, with no additional charges. I was expecting an invoice. The 2nd service was after a gap of 9 months!!! The team's commitment to pick up and drop off per the schedule, be technically competent, provide polite service with no intention to overcharge  - compels me to post a positive review for them. read more

Understand that you will be charged a $55 fee regardless of if they are able to repair your computer or not. If they are, the fee is applied to the repair cost, if not, you will simply lose this amount. Unfortunately in my case, it was "sorry we tried our best there's nothing we can do" for my 6 year old Mac mini. In all fairness Apple does not make these machines easy or cost effective to repair, but as much as I don't care for the service at the Apple store according to them if they cannot repair the computer there will be no diagnostic fee, so that's something you may want to consider before bringing your repair in to Yeamac. read more

They replaced the battery in my 10 year old MacBook and it works like new. I called about the problem and they called me back when the replacement was available. It was installed in under 2 hours while we had lunch in Burlingame. read more

Excellent service! Went above and beyond. I'd use their service again in a heartbeat.

Take your old mac there or new one, whatever, these guys are good. They have saved my A$$ with Apple migration hardware fun. I highly recommend them. read more

I brought my 2014 Macbook Air in last Wednesday (4/15). When I woke up, my laptop wouldn't take a charge and it wouldn't turn on. Tried SMC reset, didn't work either. Thank goodness YeaMac is still open during this quarantine! I called (they're open 10-4 PM weekdays), brought it in and they tested the charger and batteries and unfortunately it wasn't either of those issues. They said they had to test my mother board and it would take about a week and a half. I ended up getting a call only a half a week later and it was fixed! Turned out my SMC chip went bad and they replaced it. For work on the motherboard, it cost about $350. I'm happy to support places that fix existing products vs. just throwing things away that don't work and buying new consumer items. I'd definitely come back again. Very honest and straight forward people. Thank you YeaMac! read more

Brilliant!! Amazing!!! Incredible!!! I left the Apple store feeling so defeated- hearing there wasn't much they could do after my 10 year old spilled lemonade all over our MacBook Pro and closed it without telling us...for two days!! By the time we opened it for online school Monday it was fried! The liquid, plus the sugar, plus the acid from the lemons... disaster!! It was old (2012-14 ish) and unless I wanted to send it out and pay thousands for them to "try"to fix it- I was better served to just get a new one. As I sulked back to my car (that happened to be parked in front of Yea!Mac)... I looked up and saw their sign... I decided to walk in. I figured I didn't have much to lose, and really I just wanted some files that were saved on the desktop... maybe they could help me out. Fast forward a week later, they recovered all the data, replaced the fried logic board, fixed a blown speaker, and even managed to clean all the crumbs and gross things that were wedged in the keyboard after a year of 4th grade distance learning!! It was a fraction of the price the Apple store quoted me... and the computer is running like new!! These guys are legit... so friendly and nice... and will get my business any time we have an e-crisis in the future! read more
