Sam is brilliant! I brought in my MacBook that had stopped working completely. Previously, I was told by apple technicians that it was unfixable and I would be better off buying a new laptop. I told Sam it was urgent and he fixed the problem in less than 2 days. He’s an absolute life saver and such a pleasure to deal with!

After seeing a video of a complex "Flexgate" repair, I realized my Mac was suffering from the same issue. Since Vancouver Mac Service Centre created the video, they were the obvious choice to contact. After reaching out to learn more about their process, I decided to take the plunge. While initially hesitant about shipping my Mac, I'm so glad I did! The service was outstanding, and my Mac was returned in perfect working condition. Sam was incredibly helpful and trustworthy throughout the entire process. Highly recommend Vancouver Mac Service Centre Ltd. for anyone needing reliable Mac repair!

I have a 2020 MacBook Air that had 256GB SSD and was running out of space. Saw a YouTube video of this young man doing a very complicated upgrade process to increase the SSD to 2TB. I contacted Sam about sending my laptop in for upgrade. I was a little worried that I might see my laptop again, given I was in the US and he in Canada. I followed his instructions and shipped it to him. He did exactly as he said. We kept in contact through the process. He did exactly what he said and did it quite well. Great price for the upgrade from 256GB to 2TB. Much cheaper than buying a new laptop. I would highly recommend Vancouver Mac Service Centre. Phenomenal work. Great price. All trepidation is gone.

VMSC - your Mac repair go-to!I have an older MacBook Pro that was running great until the screen went black one day, even though the machine would still startup, so I brought it in to VMSC. Sam is incredibly knowledgable when it comes to older Macs and knew the issue right away. He updated the logic board and the problem was solved. Also, Sam noticed an issue with the keyboard alignment and that the screws on the back of the machine were threaded. He fixed the keyboard and replaced the screws at no additional charge.Excellent, friendly service with an eye for detail. I can't recommend VMSC enough!

I have an old 2012 MacBook Pro Retina 15". Sam gave me a fantastic price to upgrade RAM and SSD to bring this old baby up to speed to handle Sequoia. Even though there were some issues with my logic board he swapped mine out with an even faster Ivy board without any upcharge as he had already quoted me. Unreal!It is behaving so much faster now. Watch some of their Youtube videos - really good Mac specialists. Thanks guys. Fraser

Incredible service! I spilled liquid on my MacBook Pro, and it shut down completely. They diagnosed the issue quickly, replaced the logic board, and had my laptop working like new. The best part? It was very affordable compared to other repair options I looked into. Couldn’t be happier with the result – highly recommend this place for any Mac repairs!

Sam knew his stuff really well. He is committed, professional and provides genuine services.He told me about my Macbook pro battery problem and recommendation. In addition, he checked everything, give me a peace of mind about my suspected of water damage (turned out there’s nothing to be concern about) and all of his diagnostic are free of charge. I’ll be back for my battery replacement in near future and im happy to say that he will be the first guy to contact.

I had a no-power issue with my MacBook Pro that Apple quoted me around $1,000 to fix, including a logic board repair. I brought it to Sam, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Not only was the price significantly lower, but he also provided exceptional service and kept me updated throughout the process. My MacBook is working perfectly now, and I’m grateful for Sam’s expertise and honesty. Highly recommend him for any Mac repairs!

Problem: Macbook Pro M1 logicboard failed. Repaired within 4 business days. Good as new.The Macbook randomly stopped working/charging etc. No physical or internal problems found in any assessments but no specialist was able to run a diagnostic test due to the failure of the logicboard. If you are out of warranty but you still want a fix to keep using/access your data etc. you need to come to Vancouver Mac Service Centre. Sam is very easy to talk to and understanding. Their service is exceptional and their work brought the computer back to life!

I already gave a review before with a different account but this is one of the best services i’ve had in vancouver and it definitely deserves another one. I had an amazing experience with the first fix with Sam but then a month or so later it came back up, i texted sam regarding the issue and he fixed it within a day with no cost. I asked him if he is sure that i don’t owe him anything and he respectfully declined. Definitely recommending him to all people i know and going there again if anything happens.

I was helped quickly and efficiently - above and beyond my hopes - for my Mac laptop's battery replacement and memory upgrade. The owner/operator Sam was very helpful, answering all my questions relating to the then current issue as well as a number of other Mac related concerns I had with kindness and clarity. It felt good to bring my computer to a small-local business where I was treated with a humanness missing in a lot of the big chain stores - and I found for less cost and more accountability! I highly recommend.

Drop into the store to have the owner check up on a monitor I was interested in selling. I just wanted to make sure the monitor was still working fine before I sold it. Sam was kind enough to plug it in and test it out for me. At the end of it, he took a picture of the screen to show me that it works fine. I asked him how much and he said no charge! I offered him some cash for his time but he graciously declined. That was very very generous of Sam! I would certainly do business with Sam again!It’s true what they say, “your actions talk much louder than your words”👍👍👍👍👍 for Sam’s generosity!

I recently visited this shop where MacBook expertSam provided exceptional service. I brought in my early 2015 MacBook Pro with a damaged screen, which I had accidentally broken while cleaning. Sam was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, promptly addressing the issue. Not only did he expertly fix my screen, but he also took care of several minor issues at no extra cost, treating my Mac as if it were his own.Sam's professionalism and expertise are unparalleled. The shop boasts about 140 five-star reviews, with not a single dissatisfied customer, which speaks volumes about the quality of service provided. My experience mirrored these glowing reviews, confirming that Sam is indeed the best in his field. I didn't hesitate to choose this repair shop, and I am extremely satisfied with the outstanding service I received.

Had a "Flexgate" repair issue with my 2016 MacBook Pro. Stumbled across a YouTube video of a repair technique for the problem. I was super impressed with the technique and the quality of the soldering work by the individual in the YouTube video, so wishing there was someone in my area with that kind of talent that could do my repair. How lucky could I be when I noticed the YouTube video was produced out of Vancouver BC - a 3 hour drive from me! I made contact with Sam, who is the person who did the repair in the YouTube video. He was so gracious in making arrangements with me to immediately take my Mac in and do the repair if I were to drive up to his shop. I did, he did and everything came off without a hitch. Sam is my kind of perfectionist. He's very humble, talented down to earth and kind. It was my honor to meet him and I personally feel like I'm the lucky one to have been able to meet him, have him due my repair and be to be able to pay him for his excellent work. I can't thank him enough for the seamless way in which he made this happen and I would do the drive all over again, in a heartbeat, to work with someone of this character and quality of workmanship.

Please go straight to this place for your Mac problems even if you are covered by AppleCare, Sam literally replaced the whole keyboard for LESS than the flat AppleCare fee (insurance included). After getting scammed by ethnic Surrey “tech geeks” for a less than stellar clean job and was charged diagnostics fee BEFORE they even attempted to try cleaning and the keycaps still sticky afterwards. My loss is your gain, Id happy to work with Sam again. A pleasure of service.

What a professional, efficient, and cost-effective service. Just a brief inquiry about the symptoms of my Mac (2015) allowed for an accurate diagnosis of the problem in just one day, making my computer feel like new. It was amazing!Previously, I sent my computer to a well-known mall for testing. It took a whole day to determine the problem, and the proposed solution was no better than buying a new one.Professional, efficient and cost-effective service. Just verbally asking about the symptoms on your computer (2015 Mac) can determine exactly what the problem is. It was fixed in one day and my computer looks like new. It's really great! Previously, I sent my computer to a famous shopping mall for testing. It took me a day but I couldn't determine the problem. The solution I was given was worse than buying a new one.

My iMac was crashing every 5 or 10 minutes and a friend recommended I have the hard drive replaced. I took it to the shop he recommended, they replaced the hard drive, and I began to have the same problem a few days later. The shop who had done the repair told me they were not responsible for the problem since I had specifically asked them to replace the hard drive. This was not true. I had asked them to see if this was the problem first. I took my iMac to Sam at Vancouver Mac Service Centre, he determined that the problem was with my power supply, replaced it, and even extended the warranty on the repair to be sure the problem doesn’t come up again. It’s running fine now with no crashes. I couldn’t be happier with the service.

This is a great place to go if you need service on your Mac. I called to ask about a battery replacement for my 2015 MacBook Air, as it had reached the end of its battery cycle. Sam was friendly on the phone and booked me in right away. He replaced my battery while I waited and has let me know this will add years to my laptop’s life, which makes me very happy. Sam followed up with me a few weeks later to make sure everything was running smoothly and working well, which it is. I highly recommend going to see Sam! He will take good care of you and your Mac.

Vancouver Mac Service Centre is probably the best Mac service center in town. In simple words, they are trustworthy, humble, and honest!had a serious booting issue with my 2017 MacBook. First, I went to Best Buy, (since we bought a laptop (Windows) for my wife from their and got additional service support) without any chance of recovering my files and gave me a shocking estimate.I decided to find a more reliable repair center and luckily found Vancouver Mac Service Centre, which had almost 100% positive reviews.I contacted Sam, who greeted me warmly and invited me to the store. Even without an appointment, I waited less than 10 minutes. Sam, who is nice, genuine, honest, and down-to-earth person, quickly scanned my Mac, identified the issue, and explained everything clearly. He also gave me hope for file recovery. He requested a day to fix it and delivered as promised. The cost was under 250 CAD, including SSD replacement and file recovery.It's been over a month now, and my Mac is running perfectly. Many thanks to Sam, a straightforward and honest guy who worked his magic. I highly recommend this place for all Apple-related repairs. There are no hidden charges, and everything is transparent. If you need a reliable service, go straight to Sam. He'll take care of everything.Cheers!

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 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

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!!!

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!
Robbie Bernstein

He even followed up a couple of months later to ensure all was good. Nobody does that these days except these people do.Edit: after 4 months of daily use, my MacBook is still going strong with not a hint of a problem.

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!

Had problem with "butterfly" key on my MacBook Pro. Luckily only the cap was damaged, but not the mechanism itself, so was fixed in a matter of minutes. Very friendly and professional communication over the phone and in person. Highly recommend this 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.

I have an older mac book pro and needed a battery. Apple doesn't have one, Best Buy doesn't, Simply computing doesn't but Sam had one. He also set up an appointment quickly and changed it while I waited. Laptop now works great, he provided friendly, helpful service. Highly recommend him.

Sam repaired the logic board on my MacBook Pro. His shop is clean, well organized, and he’s very professional. The price was fair and a month later my laptop is still going strong. Highly recommend visiting for all your Mac needs.

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 dripped some liquid on my keyboard and Sam did an amazing job changing the keys and Leo bringing in a component from US! He made sure I could still use the laptop while he was procuring the component, and also he is really good with communicating the details

I had an excellent experience with Sam's laptop repair service. His responsibility and passion for the job stood out. Facing laptop issues before a work trip, Sam went above and beyond by providing a courtesy laptop for the week. In the end, my laptop was returned with a new board and a repaired screen—all at a reasonable cost. Extremely satisfied with the service. 5 stars!

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.

I had a fantastic experience with Sam at Leafix MacBook Repair. A few months ago, I needed a MacBook battery repair, and Sam came to the rescue. 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.

I needed the buzzing speakers in my older Macbook Pro replaced. Sam had new speakers in stock & replaced them while I waited, same day. I'm very satisfied with the low cost & fast service when I was quoted significantly more by a shop in the west end.
