Alex R.

Business Owner

When I was seven years old, we used Apples in the computer lab of our elementary school. They were Apple IIe’s with a monochrome screen.

We each had our own computer to use in the lab, and one day mine broke down. I ended up having to share a computer with another classmate for two weeks and I was really disappointed that I couldn’t use my own. The teacher told me I would have to wait two weeks for the Apple technician to come out and repair it. At that time, Mac techs were contracted by Apple. The name of the company Apple contracted was Kodak. How do I remember this? I couldn’t tell you. It was just another way of showing my ever-​loving devotion to Apple. Two weeks later the tech showed up and everyone was so excited to see him – especially me! I knew right then & there that I wanted to be an Apple technician.

The rest is history.

I spilled some water on my Macbook Air and when it crashed I needed it fixed ASAP! Alex was quick to respond to my email and able to start working on it first thing in the morning. There was considerable corrosion from the water damage, but he cleaned it up and dried it out. I was so surprised when he called me under 24 hours saying my laptop was ready to be picked up. Alex saved my laptop and saved me from spending a fortune with Apple to replace the damaged parts.
Don’t go anywhere else without talking to Alex first to see if he can fix your Mac!
Thanks again Alex!

I’ve gotten my computer fixed twice by Alex, well, actually once, because the second time he said he’d fix it and was «too busy» and then told me he couldn’t. I called today, to give him the benefit of the doubt and was so blown off by him that i decided to wait in the line and pay more money to The Apple Store. Being busy is good, being good helps. This is Silicon Valley: there are literally hundreds of places to get a battery for my laptop.

Alex is highly skilled and delivers awesome customer support! He went out of his way to scramble to find another replacement part for my MacBook air (same day) when the part he ordered turned out to be defective. Pricing is quite reasonable too!

Alex saved my iPhoto libraries, upgraded my OS, and kept me from losing any more sleep over my crashed HD. It was pricey but he was able to save me money had I gone to another shop to retrieve my files. I heartily recommend MMT.

I spilled a huge glass of Sprite and Vodka on the keyboard of my Macbook Pro Retina display. Took it to another shop and the tech there used this as an opportunity to try and scam the hell out of me. He was about to charge me $ 600+ for repairs — tried to overcharge me to replace the battery without any guarantee that this would fix the problem — at that point I opted out and came to Alex. I am SO glad that I found him!!! He got the job done for $ 325 total. He ordered a battery and tried it out, when that turned out to not be the problem he just sent it back. He fixed the logic board, replaced parts of it and cleaned it out completely. A new logic board would cost almost as much as my laptop did. Nice guy to deal with too, great communication all the way through. He won’t rip you off and that means everything! The other tech was highly recommended by many people on Unilocal, so be very careful. If someone has 40 – 50 all five star reviews that’s when you know that you can trust them.
Alex is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! I would go to him again anytime.

Excellent service from a good hearted, trustworthy guy… Spilled a drink on my laptop and I thought my life was over! Apples «genius» bar said the entire logic board is messed up which i knew wasn’t, was quick to charge me 800 + tax on repair costs. Found Alex on Unilocal on a Sunday (which it’s APPOINTMENT ONLY!)…It was his only day off but Alex gladly took in my macbook pro worked on it and had it ready for me the next day at 7:00am. It’s been a few hours since I’ve picked up my laptop and its running great! I paid a fraction of the cost that apple was charging and I was surprised what an excellent experience I had. Definitely will be taking in all my macbook issues (hopefully no more spills) as well as recommending this place to all my friends. You rock man!

I wasn’t a customer my parents were… they’d gone to multiple places to get quotes for data recovery and were always quoted much higher. Alex was efficient and honest, made my dad instantly feel at ease due to his experience and honesty. For the same service they were told they’d have to send their Hard Drive out for recovery and that it would take at least a week if they were able to complete the task… Alex was able to do the work at a much more reasonable price and in about three days total.
As a family of Apple owners it is nice to know where we can bring our machines to. We will most definitely be bringing our business back to Alex and be recommending all of our family and friends here as well.

Great place to go if you need a quick, quality fix for your Mac computer. My daughter accidentally spilled water on our MacBook Air keyboard. I attempted to fix it and once inside the machine decided that I was in over my head. I did a quick Google search then read Unilocal reviews. I dropped off the machine to the owner Alex and he was done with it the same day.
Great service.

My son knocked a water bottle onto his 6 month MacBook Pro Retina laptop. The computer was dead and could not be powered on. I took it to a local shop where it was worked on for two weeks. They were able to recover the data but could not repair the computer. My mistake was not taking it to Alex from the start. Because I am new to the state, I did not want to drive 40 minutes to have it repaired. After taking it to Alex, he looked at the computer and new exactly what needed to be repaired. After 24 hours, he called to let me know the computer was repaired and ready for pick up. I was thrilled that the computer powered on with all the data. The repair cost was $ 450 which was much better than having to buy a new computer. Call Alex for your MacBook repairs.

After years and years of business travel, I finally made the mistake I’ve been worried about — spilling water on and in my laptop. While returning from a trip, a woman pointed out my leaking computer bag. I quickly grabbed the Macbook Pro out, and water spilled out from air vents, keyboard. .. everywhere. I put laptop in rice on return, but predictably no luck.
Based on recommendation from phone repair guy (I have teenage daughters, after all), I took laptop to Alex without much hope. He went through and figured out all the internal damage (biggest issue was battery) and fixed it up. The repair took longer than expected due to battery supplier sending bad battery. Alex was thorough and used another battery to figure out problem, order new batter from new supplier, and cleaned fixed all other parts.
In the end (it’s two days now since I got laptop back), I have a live laptop again. Price ended up being about 1⁄3 of new laptop, which was a bargain as I had no expectation of getting this to work again.
Great, thorough service. Highly recommend.

Alex is the MAN. I spilled coffee on my work computer this morning — because I was leaving SJ for SF the next day and was in a bit of a rush, he expedited my repair. All the coffee /​water damage is now handled (Macbook Air is now working great) and he fixed up my ports, AND swapped in a new keyboard and trackpad. Can’t say enough good things about this guy — very nice and knowledgable… honestly, I trust him more than I trust people at the Apple Store. Unlike those folks, he’s not trying to nickel and dime you. Fair, honest, fast. Alex — owe you big time buddy, you saved me a lot of time, money and energy.

Fast and efficient. Good price. Daughters computer had water damage during the school year. I searched around for repair. Mobile Macs helped right away and at a fair price. Pleasant and honest.

I called re an old iMac screen wave pattern. Alex was very helpful and actually recommended living with the waving pattern until a replacement decision is made. He won a customer.

I wasn’t sure what was wrong with my Mac so I called Mobile Mac Techs and talked to the owner himself. After explaining what my computer was doing Alex the owner reassured me that he knew exactly what the problem was. The next day he called me to let me know my Mac was ready for pick up. Sure enough after taking my Mac home I was amazed on the performance my Mac was producing.
I definitely would recommend anyone who has issues with there Mac to take it to Mobile Mac Tech’s.
Their fast, efficient and they get the job done.

As an employee of Cisco and a new user of Mac, I had no idea how difficult the process would be to get a repair. My MacBook Air had water damage and although Cisco provided me with a new Mac, I had to transfer the data from the damaged computer to the new one. Apple Store gave me three different stories about how this should/​could be done (totally worthless as far as support goes from Apple) and as a final result, I called Alex for help. He was amazing! He provided me with a few options, gave me an accurate quote, and after realizing my urgency, was able to assist me (and complete the job) within 24 hours. I would highly recommend his services for anything MAC related, he was efficient, friendly, convenient, and thorough. Five Stars for sure!

Alex has magic fingers…
He saved a brand new Macbook air from water damage and a battery that had caught on fire. He replaced the hard drive in a MacPro. And he fixed a broken screen and exploded battery in another — all three for less than it costs just for apple to bat their eyes in my direction. Well, maybe not quite, but I’ve had macs for years, and issues such as water damage and Apple is like oil and water — I just steer clear these days.
I was in another country when a water bottle broke and literally soaked my logic board. Whhhaaaaaa… :-(I sent Alex a message, he responded swiftly, but I couldn’t get it to him for a few more weeks. Total cost on the battery, and the cleaning, and whatever else his magic fingers did was close to $ 250, in LESS THAN 24 HOURS!!!
The other two laptops were just sitting around, things needed fixed here and there. So I dropped them off and Voila! In a few short days I had two macs that are like brand spanking new!
Thanks a ton Alex! I’ve already had a few friends ask for your number and even if I’m not in the Bay area, I will go out of my way, I will send Alex the troubled Apple, I will be calling on Alex. He is absolutely awesome.

Alex at Mobile Mac Techs is phenomenal. As a small business owner myself I found his services professional and he left me feeling confident about his abilities. My MacBook Pro is about three years old and what looked like to Alex as a routine memory upgrade had changed to a failing hard drive. He called me immediately and thoroughly explained everything in a way I could understand. Now my computer is running great and is super fast. Prices are fair and I feel he took the extra steps to cross the all the T’s and dot the I’s. I was also impressed with the quick turn around time and prompt responses via email and phone calls. You can tell right away he has the highest integrity.
