Apple Authorized Service Centre

One business day evaluation turn around.
We guarantee that a certified technician will have your computer on the bench the next business day. We cannot guarantee though that the computer will be fixed at that time if parts need to be ordered.

Apple Certified technicians.
At Carbon, we believe that to be the best service centre in town, you need to hire the best technicians. We employ the most qualified Apple certified hardware technicians for portables and desktops.

We have technicians on wheels that are ready to drop in if you don’t feel like bringing the computer to our shop. We'll come to you and diagnose the problem at your location.

Delivery, setup and install.
If you're not comfortable with setting your computer up, we'll deliver, set up, connect it to the Internet, or even transfer your data from your old computer if you wish.

Wireless network set up and security experts.
When you decide to set up a wireless network, it is vital that you secure it from hacking predators. We know that this may be a hectic job if you're not technically savvy. We can set it up in our shop if you wish, but we prefer to do it at your place just to make sure everything is working in your environment.

AppleCare Explained

The AppleCare Protection Plan is a uniquely integrated service and support solution that extends the complimentary coverage on your Mac to three years from the computer’s purchase date. This comprehensive plan includes expert telephone assistance, web-based support resources, powerful diagnostic tools, and repairs for desktop computers and portable computers — all for one economical price.

We recommend that you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan when you purchase your Apple system to take maximum advantage of the coverage the plan provides.

Please be aware of the following:
Service Orders are first come first serve. Priority repairs are available by request.

Macintoshes older than a Beige G3 will be treated as Data Transfers Only. Carbon Computing does not recommend that they be repaired.

Clients must backup their own data, as Carbon Computing is NOT RESPONSIBLE for any data contained on the equipment repaired by Carbon.

A $65 service charge for evaluation of equipment is charged to EVERY Service Repair Order except if the problem is covered under warranty (CarbonCare or AppleCare) in which case the fee will be waived.

90 Day parts and labour warranty unless otherwise stated.
Service is billable in 30min increments after the first hour.
Equipment unclaimed after 30 Days may be sold or disposed of at Carbon Computing's discretion.
