Absolutely thrilled with my experience at Sacramento Core Care. I recently brought my MacBook Pro in for a memory and battery upgrade, and the entire process exceeded my expectations, thanks to the fantastic team here. From the moment I walked in, Michelle at the front desk was a gem. Her warm welcome and professionalism set the tone for what turned out to be a stellar experience. She clearly explained the upgrade options and kept me informed about the progress every step of the way. Albert, the technician who handled my MacBook, was nothing short of exceptional. Despite encountering some unexpected problems and delays, his expertise and dedication shone through. He navigated the issues with remarkable skill and patience, ensuring that everything was addressed thoroughly. Albert's commitment to finding the right solution and his clear communication made me feel confident and valued as a customer. The upgrade was completed to perfection, and my MacBook Pro now runs smoother and more efficiently than ever. It's clear that this team takes immense pride in their work and genuinely cares about their customers. I couldn't be happier with the results or the service I received. Thank you, Michelle and Albert. Thank you Casey (owner) for okay-ing the solution when the DOA drives were delivered to you and fixing everything. I highly recommend Core Care to anyone in need of top-notch computer repair and upgrade services! read more

Casey was great with walking me through the process of pulling files and explaining my options for recovery. He was patient and efficient. He was able to pull the file I needed, but I had to eventually dispose of my 2011 Macbook Air because it's time had come. However, I felt very confident that he handled the deletion of data and recycling very professionally. Although I felt like I lost part of me when I had to leave it behind to "move on", I am thankful that I had Casey helping me during this visit. read more

I have been a customer for 3+ years and cannot speak more highly of this company. Casey and his well trained staff not only resolve the problems you bring to them, but do not give up until they do. Friendly, effective, and outstanding service are among their many assets. I appreciate the patience with us senior users, and their willingness to explain what they are doing and how to repeat the steps once you leave. I highly recommend them and feel more than confident that you will be as pleased as I have been. Truly expert care, service and concern! Becky M. read more

Quick and professional service. I highly recommend. Reasonable prices and quality customer support.

I took my Apple Studio Display in for what I thought was going to be a major problem but turned out to be a minor issue. I had simply plugged the display cable into the wrong port. The staff could have not been more helpful and even carried it in from my car. I could tell from the "vibes" here that they are simply quite reputable. I will definitely return should I ever encounter any issues with any of my Apple devices. On top of it all, they did not charge me for their time and expertise. read more

I almost blew a fuse when the display to my MacBook malfunctioned in the middle of writing a long school paper with a tight deadline. Thankfully a friend recommended me to Core Care. I was lucky enough to have my screen repaired and my computer returned to me the next day. I will always come here for my repair necessities. Thank you, Core Care! read more

Excellent speedy service!!!! Managed to replace batteries in 2 ancient Mac laptops 2011 and 2018! Will recommend and be back!

Second time we used Core Care for Apple support. Cast Ed very helpful in solving my iPhone's struggle to charge. Then we brought two watches that were not holding charges. Again he quickly presented a great option of returning the watches for the cost of a battery replacement. We highly recommend the care and service provided. read more

What can I say? Casey is simply the BEST!! I visited Core Care today with a very troublesome issue occurring with my MacBook that other repair shops were unable to properly diagnose and repair. I showed my computer to Casey and described the problem and he immediately went to work. His YEARS of expertise truly shined as he expertly navigated my computer, correctly diagnosed the issue, and repaired my computer in the snap of a finger! He is truly a remarkable mind with impeccable customer service. I would recommend Core Care to anyone! Thanks again Casey for fixing my computer and for such an outstanding customer experience!! read more

Had a great experience at Core Care for a battery replacement for my old MacBook Air. Had just gone to the Apple Store where they told me my laptop was so old (a mid-2011 MacBook Air) that their system called it "obsolete" and they had no parts for it. Besides the fact that my battery notified me to "replace soon" and it wasn't holding a charge, my laptop works well and I wanted to try to fix it. So, I looked up the nearest verified Apple repair by Arden mall and Core Care came up. Called to see if they could help and they were super responsive. They said I didn't need an appointment so I showed up and they fixed my battery within the hour! Paid $115 for the battery + $50 labor fee, which seems standard. Battery also has a year warranty! Excellent customer service and way cheaper than the Apple's recommendation of "buying a new laptop." read more

Core care was recommended to me by Apple when my external hard drive gave out. He helped so much. He transferred data to my new hard drive. It he went above and beyond to share with me how to work with my computer better and more efficiently. And he treated me with respect. He was patient when I didn't understand something, more than once. Trust this company totally read more

Those guys are incredible, it's my favorite business in Town. I have been struggling with an 2019 iMac, which is a good machine but which was suffering from being set up with a Fusion Drive. I received a reminder regarding the Apple Care coverage that was expiring a few days ago. They have made a very quick diagnostic on how to improve the performance of my machine, they have been quick on working on it and delivered just as predicted. I wish the best for this business, very professional team and passionate people. Best business in Town, long and prosperous life to them. read more

I've been using this amazing business for years. The hard drive in my MacBook Air failed, and I bought a replacement. Of course I came here. Why would I go to the Genius Bar? My hard drive was replaced, but the best part was the concern and care that I received from the staff. They made a valiant effort to recover the data on my failed drive, and successfully recovered about half of it. At each step of the process, I got texts and phone calls. Casey, Brian and Albert are consummate professionals. BUT, that's not all! Michelle, the young woman at the front desk, was kind, gracious and fun. The price that I paid for all of this excellence was fair and cost-effective. I received the BEST service, at a reasonable price, and these people were so friendly and professional that I rushed to get home to write this review. I almost hesitate to share them with you--I want them for myself! But if you really need service or repair for your Apple products and you don't want to drive around the mall parking lot and then stand around waiting for someone to come help you at the Apple Store (even with an appointment), please find your way to the coolest folks in Sactown. TRUST me!! read more

Great Service! Amazing communication. Fast and reliable. Very professional family owned and operated shop.

Core Care & Casey's team have been helping me with my Apple needs for years. They are an amazing crew of people and literally go above and beyond to help resolve any issue that comes up. Such an amazing business that we have here in the Sacramento area! read more

These folks are awesome! Casey is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Hell, even my dog adored him. He has been working on apple products for 30 years and it shows. He has infinite patience and is able to explain things in such a way that even a luddite like myself can understand what he is talking about...well, most of the time, lol. His daughter is super sweet and helpful as well! Highly recommend! read more

I have been having issues with my Mac book pro for over a week and tried to trouble shoot the issue myself, went to Best Buy for assistance and then came to core care. From trying to find the location to the end of my appointment I felt taken care of. Trent was the service coordinator who assisted me in my efforts to figure out my problem. He was very kind and never once made me feel incompetent (although I am.. at least when it comes to tech). My problem was an easy fix and I went on my way. I highly recommend core care to anyone who has tech needs. Do not go to Best Buy. read more

I hate dealing with computer issues. But Casey at Core Care made it super stress-free. He was friendly from the moment I walked in the door. I watched as he efficiently helped several people at once while making each customer feel valued. He was extremely knowledgeable about All-Things-Apple, answering Qs about all types of random issues. Highly recommend! read more

My MacBook Pro, my first laptop, my BABY, a 2011...was not working and I couldn't fix it myself. I had to do a weird jig of pressing three buttons to start it, the battery went dead quickly...and the black screen if death showed up way too much. A little icon at the top and a hit on Dr. Google informed me I needed battery service. I was convinced I had killed my baby when I walked out of constitutional Law class one night in the pouring rain and she got wet. I was riddled with guilt. And you can see I love my computer like a CHILD. Core care is an Apple authorized retailer and I felt super comfortable arriving in the store with its "Apple museum" behind glass with vintage computers on display. Albert greeted us and listened to my super long semi-dramatic story about my computer. I felt like I could trust him with my baby. And my strange dark computer history. No, let's leave that to the FBI. Diagnostic here is $100, and when I got a call a day later it did need a battery ($200 incl. labor) and I passed on a new CPU (220) as my computer budget was maxed out from buying a new iMac the previous week. Could I have bought my own battery and changed it myself for less money? Probably so. But would YOU perform surgery on your own baby? I think not. Albert called me the next day after the phone consultation and she was ready to pick up. She's been humming along, happy to show off next to her younger sister (the iMac) and sibling rivalry is at bay. But moms always have a favorite, you know? read more

Good service, good value, work was expedited fixed all they could fix with efficiency and expertise.

A1 service. Only place I take my MacBook. They've kept my 2014 mbp running like a champ since my 1st visit around 2019 . Bought it refurbished 10 years ago. Have had display replaced, battery replaced , charging port. Always great work. read more

Core Care was recommended to me by a friend in the Apple Group when my system crashed. I brought the Mac desk top to them, and they explained the situation, gave me options to either rebuild the computer or migrate to a new one. I took took the rebuild. They said the rebuild would get me a machine that was faster, and that the screen was larger than the newer version. Parts needed to be ordered, and the machine was ready on-time. They took the time to explain some things to me, which really helped. Excellent customer service and knowledgeable staff. Use them! Michele on the front desk and Chris working the magic. Richard P read more

I had a great experience with this shop. Wealth of knowledge and very trustworthy. I will definitely come back.

I can't believe I forgot to review this page. I've know Casey and CORE for years. There is no one I would rather turn to for all my Apple related needs. When I ran the MacOnline Store in Sacramento, Casey was my technician. I learned from his genius back then. After Apple opened up their own Apple Store nearby, the store I managed was closed and Casey moved on to his own thing with Core Care. Again, in my Apple world, there is no place I'd rather do business with. Good old fashioned live service from people that have a genuine passion for what they do. read more

I unfortunately broke the screen on my MacBook Pro. Not the cheapest of computer accidents to fix but Core Care did it efficiently and probably cheaper than going to the Apple store. They are an Authorized Apple Dealer so thats good enough for me. Plus, no waiting in ridiculous lines at the mall! Just pop in, drop off, and pick up a few days later(maybe other fixes can be done sooner, my part had to be special ordered from Apple). read more

Great service at a reasonable cost. Casey was amazing, had a issue where the downgrade didn't go through. Casey and his team took great care of it within few hours. Amazing service, I would recommend these guys over Apple support. read more

I took my phone here for repair. They are amazing. they fixed my non-operational phone quickly and efficiently. there was a minimal cost and unlike many tech groups, they were friendly and kind. I am very impressed. read more

I want to thank you for providing excellent customer service when I brought my computer to you in January. You completely exceeded my expectations. You spent so much time with me - answering my questions and helping me figure out the best way to maximize my computer - all with a smile on your face. I'm so happy with our solution and my computer is working great! read more

Brian was super nice and explained the whole process to me thoroughly. I was worried at first working with anyone other than Apple but they are great and I would highly recommend. read more

Absolutely the best and most honest tech company I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I thought I had a failing drive with 10years worth of work and data, brought it in and two days later was told my data and drive were actually ok but they still backed it up for me on a new drive I purchased. Walked me through time machine on Mac, other ways to back up data. They didn't even charge me for the full price!!! Best holiday present I could ask for. THANK YOU! Highly recommend to anyone in the area. read more

I came to fix my computer. I'm not gonna get into technicalities but I really liked how the business is run. They are very responsive, organized and provide excellent customer service. Great business read more

Wow. These guys are amazing. I teach online classes, so damaging my laptop was a real emergency. They went above and beyond to get things working and had every part needed to do the job right there on site. For me, this means that they saved me a whole day's income by having my laptop up and working again within just hours of drop off. Plus Casey and Brian are personable, patient and easy to work with. i will never go to the Genius Bar again! now I have Core Care. Awesome. read more

Fantastic experience! Highly recommend. Didn't need an appointment, they were able to recover data on my 11 year old Mac book that I was convinced was long gone. It took over an hour but the owner Casey makes great conversation. Don't even bother with the Apple Store this is the place to go read more

They have repaired numerous electronic apple products for me. Very reasonable charges. Trust their knowledge and expertise

Fantastic customer service! Casey, the owner, was willing to stay in his store a little while after the facility had closed for me to drop off my device. He was very transparent with the contract and expectations of my repair. The line of communication was also great during the repair process with updates provided in a timely fashion. Highly recommend this business. read more

Had the best experience w/ Core Care. They fixed my Late 2016 MacbookPro keyboard through the Apple's Keyboard Replacement Program. I really enjoyed the check in process and it only took 2 business days have it fixed. With Apple's ever declining customer service I am glad there are companies like Core Care that get the job done w/o wasting your time. I will be using Core Care for any future repairs, I absolutely prefer them to Apple, by far! read more

My MacBook Pro laptop was not charging. I brought it in to the Rocklin store along with the charger and cable. The girl that was there tested the cable with her charger. She used her cable and it would charge. She also tested my charger and it worked fine with her cable. She didn't have the cable in the store but told me what cable to buy. She said there was no charge for the quick diagnostic. I wI'll definitely use them in the future. Thank you. read more

When the screen on my wife's relatively new 16-inch MacBook Pro displayed an array of crazy colors and appeared to have a small crack that was causing it, we assumed it was the result of it slipping out of her hands a couple of weeks before. Our natural inclination was to take it to the Apple Store at Arden Fair, but the last time I was there it was really complicated because of COVID-19. So I took a chance on Core Care based on the stellar reviews. So glad I did. I was met at the front desk by the owner, Casey, who was filling in for the regular person. We had a nice long chat about stuff- not just the laptop- and he said because we hadn't purchase Apple Care, the screen replacement could cost about $800. Gulp. Then he did some research and thought he might be able to get Apple to cover the replacement anyway because it was a single crack and did not appear to be caused by any abuse. A week or so later they texted me to come and pick up the MacBook Pro with a new screen. NO CHARGE. That is what we call great customer service. read more

I bought a 2015 Macbook Pro off of someone on Facebook Market Place and he didn't know how to erase everything so I took care of that but the Macbook would not let me reinstall the current MacOs. So I took it into Core Care where I was greeted by Casey. Casey took it in and fixed the issue for only $50!!! He had it done the next morning and set up my Macbook cleaned and polished it and even installed Google Chrome for me! Highly recommend these guys! Very professional and know what they are doing, and take their jobs seriously. They also have a HUGE collection of vintage apple products! SO COOL! Highly satisfied thank you again Core Care. read more

Great customer service, Casey and Trent made me feel warm and welcome, and also provided quick service. I needed a screen replaced and it was done within a couple of hours. These guys don't try to sell you things you don't need. Will definitely be back! read more
