Mac repair in Grasse
Independent Mac repairer for Grasse: MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio. Software and hardware diagnosis at your home or at the workshop in Le Cannet, with no Apple Premium markup — same rates as for PCs.
Many Grasse residents with Macs are reluctant to drive down to an authorised reseller in Cannes or Nice for what is often a simple problem. I come to your home, or I collect the machine, and I handle most cases with no Apple markup: slowness, battery, screen, data, setup.
My most common Mac jobs: slowness after a macOS update (Sonoma and Sequoia have weighed quite a few machines down), a battery that no longer lasts an hour, a cracked screen or dead pixels, the butterfly keyboard of 2016-2019 MacBook Pros, data recovery from an SSD soldered to the motherboard, a clean migration to a new Mac with iCloud transfer.
On pricing, I charge the same for Macs as for PCs: free diagnosis, firm quote before any work, payment after a successful repair, 3-month warranty. For Apple parts (Retina screen, M-chip battery), I go through authorised resellers and tell you the extra cost before committing.

Frequently asked questions
My 2015 iMac is sluggish with a recent macOS, should I replace it?expand_more
Not necessarily. These iMacs have a slow hard drive that collapses with recent versions of macOS. A 500 GB or 1 TB SSD gives back ×10 smoothness — many Grasse residents have extended their iMac by 5 years this way. Reckon on €200-300 depending on the SSD.
My MacBook screen is cracked, is it repairable in Grasse?expand_more
Yes. I collect the machine, order the screen (genuine Apple or certified compatible depending on budget), dismantle, reassemble and calibrate. Quote depending on the model: €250-450 including the part for the Airs, more for the Pro Retinas.
My M2 MacBook has been slow since an update, is that normal?expand_more
No, a recent Mac should not be sluggish. Usually it is background agents (multiple cloud syncs, antivirus, old Adobe processes) saturating the memory. Diagnosis and cleaning in 1-2 h.
Do you install Windows on an Apple Silicon Mac?expand_more
Not as a dual boot (Apple no longer allows it on M chips). But I can install Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion to run Windows in a virtual machine, enough for most uses.
Is there a charge for a Mac call-out to Grasse?expand_more
A €20 call-out charge for work under €80, included above that. Dropping the machine at the workshop or remote support (for software problems) avoids that charge.
