I'd first heard about Sam through some friends who went far out of their way to have their Macs serviced by him. My curiosity was piqued, so when my Macbook decided to become ill to the gills, I brought it to Sam's Mac Hospital. Wow. I'm so glad I eventually did! I'd initially lazily brought it to a repair place around the corner from me. Without looking at my Mac, and after only vaguely listening to me stumble through what the symptoms were, the greasy proprietor claimed it would cost $900 to fix. If he seemed even a bit less shifty, I might have believed him. Luckily, this caused me to realize that travelling to the fabled Sam for a second opinion was probably worthwhile. It was worth more than many whiles. Sam diagnosed the issue (which was not at all what the greasy goon claimed), clearly explaining the specific woes in detail, & very swiftly repaired my ill lil' Mac; final cost? $240. I've brought my computers to Sam whenever they feel woozy & he boosts their immune systems and massages them back into fine spirits. He is without doubt the most honest person I've dealt with in service & repair, where many of us are vulnerable by virtue of a vast knowledge deficit. It's such a relief to know that anytime I need trustworthy, thorough & cost appropriate repair, I need not be deceived by unscrupulous ne'er-do-wells of the greasy variety; I have Sam: An altruistic saint floating above a sea of sleaze :)Julian 'Jy' Harris

I had what we thought was an hard drive issue. Turned out it was a software problem. Sam was super helpful, very knowledgeable, concise, organized and honest. He even sent me home with MacBook Air so that my wife could work.This is the best place in town for computer repair. I recommend it with 10 out of 5 stars!!

I needed help with older MacBook ... battery and charging issues. I called and contacted Sam. Very prompt. I went to his store and he diagnosed it right while i was there and identified 3 issues, and gave me a price to repair... I feel a very fair price to me. And he will do them in an order in case the last issue would be resolved by one of the first issues he fixes. He proceeded and kept me informed and ordered a new battery, and he had everything repaired by mid-day the very next day. Very personable and easy to talk and listen to. I recommend Sam and Vancouver Mac Service 100%. Thank you Sam

Very helpful and reassuring! I usually never write reviews but this place deserves one . I had a cracked display and was feeling very anxious, especially after apple customer care said they'd charge 800$ for repair and take forever. Sam fixed my laptop in less than a few hours for a very reasonable price! Very reliable and genuine repairs.

Not only did Sam manage to rectify the issue swiftly, but he also did so with remarkable skill and expertise. What truly stood out was the fact that he completed the job in just a day, minimizing any inconvenience on my end. Moreover, the charges for the repair were incredibly reasonable, making the entire experience more satisfying. I highly recommend Sam to anyone in need of quality tech assistance.

Had cracked and frozen on MacBook Air the screen. We went an authorized retail shops in North Van, were told the whole screen needs to be replaced. Waited for the part anxiously and hopelessly for days. We are glad and very lucky we’ve decided to drive 40 min to Vancouver Mac Service Centre after reading all the good reviews. Sam was able to repair it and we got our good as new MacBook Air back the next day with a very reasonable price !!! Sam is our hero !!!!! Definitely highly recommended!!!

Best repair center in Vancouver. Sam is super fast with his work and does it perfectly. I noticed a tiny hairline crack in my new screen after two days and Sam took it back no problem and fixed it again!

I would have given them 10 stars if I could. I idiotically left my magnet charger on top of my m1 Mac air. That killed the screen. I brought it in and Sam said he could replace the screen. Work is flawless.He texted me updates daily. Give this business a shot if your Mac is busted.

One of my Macs have had battery issues for the last couple of years and I finally decided to fix it. After looking around for a bit I realized that this place is probably a lot cheaper and more efficient than places like London drugs or even Apple store, so I took a shot.The cost was significantly lower than I expected and my 2017 Macbook Pro battery was replaced in 30 minutes, I didnt even manage to finish my running errands before I had to return.Several weeks later and I am absolutely satisfied with the job done, they also replaced one of my buttons free of charge.Great Service, Great Quality, Highly Recommend!

I came to the shop seeking a repair for what another technician diagnosed as a faulty logic board in my Macbook Pro (2021). Sam took the time to investigate the issue, which turned out to be a more minor (and less costly) repair. Sam was friendly, professional, and had my laptop fixed and returned to me within a few days. I highly recommend this shop!

Sam is exceptional and truly the best! Apple Pacific Center quoted me over $ 880 plus tax to replace my keyboard and Sam repaired it the same day for only $ 250 plus tax! Sam is incredible and trustworthy. I highly recommend him.
Everything you read about this place is true. Exceptional service, reasonable prices. Sam repaired my MacBook Pro suffering from flexgate (screen stage lighting). He even followed up a couple of months later to ensure all was good. Nobody does that these days except these people do.

Incredible service!! The screen on my mac air went black and I was told by 2 other well known retailers that parts were not available as was an older mac , and my options were to buy a new one or find someone who could find the parts .. Called Sam and he told me if he couldn't fix it, there would be no charge.About a day later I got a call from Sam that my mac was ready for pick up.It now works perfect !!! He even cleaned it and now looks brand new.A few weeks later he even did a follow up call to see if it was working fine. Thats service!

I am grateful for the excellent service I did receive and Vancouver Mac Service Centre ("VMSC") The actual price, the service and the quality cannot compare with any other Mac Service. I did check all over Vancouver and VMSC was the best price, but it does not only stop there, after arriving I was surprise with how clean and spacious was the space compare with the other stores I visited. But it was not only the best price, the best store but also and more important rhe best service, Sam the person who help me was beyond knowledgeable but also honest and kind. He ended up dropping my laptop at my place. My laptop works better than ever in a long time thanks to Sam and Vancouver Mac Service Centre.I am really grateful to find this Mac service, it is unique.

If you have a broken Macbook, THIS is the place you need to go.My son's 2021 14-inch Macbook Pro all of a sudden stopped charging and wouldn't turn on. We brought it to apple and they quoted us around $1K for a logic board (motherboard) replacement. This was ridiculous since the computer was only 2 years old and we had taken such good care of it.THANK GOODNESS however, I found Sam and Vancouver Mac Service Centre. We saw all of the positive reviews about Sam and decided "why not?" since his diagnostic testing is free! (You don't pay unless it's fixed). Throughout the repair process, Sam kept us up to date and did not give up even though our specific repair seemed unfixable. He provided firm timelines and even offered another Macbook for my son to use for school since the repair was more complex than it seemed. Today we got the message that he had fixed our Macbook! This brought us so much relief as we really loved the Macbook and it would've been a shame for it to go to waste. Sam was also able to do the repair while keeping all of our files saved!Overall Sam was so friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and communicative throughout the whole process. His prices are also very reasonable for the amount of work he puts into the repairs. Can't recommend his shop enough! Thank you so much, Sam!

I highly recommend Sam and his services. When my Macbook fell victim to Flexgate and Apple refused to fix it, I did a quick Google search and came across Leafix Macbook Repair. Sam was quick to respond to my query and was able to have my laptop fixed the next day. He was courteous and professional through all my interactions with him and I am happy to say that my Macbook is working properly once again. If I ever have any other issues with my laptop, rest assured, I will be contacting Sam immediately. Thanks again Sam!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Leafix MacBook Repair and the wonderful person behind it all "Sam" for his amazing support in resolving the power / sleep function issues on my MacBook Air. This is my first Apple device and it was having issues such as not shutting down and screen turning on/off randomly.Based on what I heard and seen online from folks regarding repair of Apple products, I was very skeptical on approaching any service assuming costs to be sky high and success rate to be low. I reached out to various service providers but I only received a response to my queries from Leafix so I took a leap of faith and trusted Sam's expertise. Sam was able to quickly and accurately figure out the issue within a few hours from dropping off my device and presented me with a clear solution which worked perfectly and resulted in replacing a faulty trackpad which seemed to be the culprit.Although, initially the replacement trackpad failed within a month to which I contacted Sam and he was immediately able to provide me with a new replacement again making sure the issue was completely resolved. As a customer, I appreciated the free and accurate diagnosis, Sam's expertise in resolving issues with Macbooks, timely communication and availability, post repair check in to make sure everything was working fine and also liked that the cost of various services offered were posted upfront on the website.I would encourage anyone who has issues with their Macbooks to reach out to Sam who can help make your device(s) as good as new.

He's not only a great guy but also highly skilled in his work. His communication was excellent throughout the process, and the pricing for the fix was very reasonable. I highly recommend Sam for any MacBook repair needs!

I spilled a glass of water on my old 2014 macbook air and it wouldn't turn back on. I thought it was done. I contacted Sam and he was so genuinely kind, helpful and clear about what he could do, his prices and timeline. He even helped me avoid going to a popular shop downtown who wanted to charge me for work even if it didn't solve my problem, stating that it was unethical which my gut was telling me. After we met in person he cleaned the water damage and used some on hand parts to repair the logic board. My computer is now working as good as ever. I thought, being old, that it was time to get a new computer, but Sam validated that my computer was still great and that I didn't need to invest in a new one. We also shared our values and ethics around the environmental and global social impacts of technology and tech minerals aka the blood diamonds of our time (google Congo tech mineral mining to learn more). Sam is a rarity: Supremely skilled, fair, kind, ethical, communicative and authentic. I am so grateful I found him.
