Service was great and they are very knowledgeable about Mac's. It took a few days for the repair, but they communicated the with me the whole time! read more

Cornice saved me!! My 2019 MacBook Pro battery was fried; and I could not bear to part with my computer because I'm in grad school. The Apple Store suggested I send it out for 3 to 5 days. And as it turns out there was a recall on my laptop's keyboard (which Cornice discovered, thus requiring a new top case, which includes the battery!! Cornice did the entire repair in house in one day. I was even granted a warranty exception that made the entire repair free of charge. I only had to pay the Cornice diagnostic fee... totally worth it for the peace of mind they provided. What a blessing... I didn't miss a single second of coursework. I will always recommend Cornice from now on... Thanks Tim!! read more

I have had a problem with my older MacBook using the Wi-Fi. It would not go on the internet. Frustrated I finally called Apple Care, after a lengthy call trying to make my MacBook to work they suggested Cornice. The representative made a reservation and I went the next day. Cornice is located in an industrial park area. There was plenty of parking with shade. Going in I was nervous my MacBook was too old to keep working. They have a great display of vintage Apples!! The gentleman greeted and checked us in. Then I told him what was happening with my MacBook. I turned it on and he proceeded to click his way through the problem. He figured it out quickly and clicked the whole problem away!! He rebooted my MacBook and checked to make sure it was operating properly. Then he shut it off, restarted it and had me make sure it would go on WI-FI and the internet by myself. It was a great relief to have my MacBook working again, there's paperwork for me to tackle! The gentleman reassured me I have plenty of memory and can add the newest update. The gentleman was so friendly and helpful- I am sorry I didn't get his name!! He was so generous not to charge me!! I was pleasantly surprised! I highly recommend coming to get your MacBook checked here!! read more

CORNICE - My MacBook - Data Recovery Near Me - Upland, California

very helpful and communicative, thanks for fixing my laptop and being so transparent :)

Amazing service! The speaker on my iPhone has not been working for a while. When I tried to get an appointment from Apple, this business was listed as an authorized repair shop. They were honest, kind, and worked hard to solve my problem. They were able to solve it without my phone needing any major repairs. I will definitely go back there for any future issues. read more

Went in to get my wife's laptop fixed. Staff was very professional. Problem Was fixed in two minutes. Highly recommend!!

Brought laptop in, diagnosis took 2 weeks. I paid for a cleaning $295 and brought it to my Mac authorized repair. My tech advised that the laptop was not cleaned. I contacted Cornice to request a refund and still no reply. read more

Needed to get some service done on my MacBook Air and was directed here as all Apple stores are currently closed. We called (the number listed here) to see what we needed to do and were told just bring it up and it would be 7-14 days unless we wanted to pay a "rush" fee to get to the front of the line. Great. Drove 45mins up to the store and they have a sign in the window stating to call before entering. So I call and they now tell me they do not accept walk ins and they are not currently doing the "rush fee" because of how busy they are. Then they try and tell me it was Apple who told me about their timelines and policies. Yeah I didn't wait in the black hole of hold with Apple at all. That and well unless they have their lines forwarded to Apple or an Apple rep works in their store that is a straight up lie. Guess the pandemic is an excuse to not honor what you tell people calling and inquiring about your services here. read more

My brand new MacBook would not longer turn on. I check apple repair services online and Cornice had the fastest appointment time available. From the beginning, they were completely honest and professional. Every question or email I had, they responded within 24 hours. Karen is a wonderful resource at the front desk! COVID is affecting all industries with delays and safety protocols for everything. I understand this may make things a little different and difficult but I appreciate the efforts and kindness CORNICE was in fixing my computer. Thank you! read more

I usually take my MacBook to Apple for repairs, but I decided to try this place out because it was closer. What a mistake. I've had my MacBook for a number of years and recently the keycaps have gotten loose from use. Each time I've taken it to Apple, it takes 5-10 minutes for them to replace the keycaps. Cornice told me that I'd have to leave my computer with them for at least most of the day, if not overnight. I asked them why it would take that long, and they said that they had other computers to look at first. I was confused because this repair should only take a few minutes, and they said that they would need to run tests on my computer. I told them that my computer didn't need tests because my keycaps just needed to be replaced. They said that it was their policy to test all computers, and that all service providers should do so. This is bizarre because I'm pretty sure that Apple doesn't do this. Why would you need to run tests if it's clearly a solely external issue? Even if Apple does this, it only takes about 5 minutes, as the whole service is done within 10 minutes, if not sooner. The blonde woman I interacted with at the counter didn't seem to care. She didn't even attempt to apologize for the inconvenience. With COVID and remote work, you'd think that someone who works with computers would understand how limiting it can be for many people to be without their computer even for a day. I'm studying for the California Bar Exam and can't take a day off from my study program, which requires my laptop. I wouldn't recommend this place. The mandatory testing policy is ridiculous. The employees are also much friendlier at Apple. In addition, they made me wait 15 minutes after my appointment time to come in. I don't see how they could run so behind (an hour after they opened) if they don't do any small repairs immediately. It would've taken much less time for me to just go to Apple in the first place. Maybe Cornice is great for people with more complex issues, but I won't be back. read more

Amazing! First off, I was 20 mins late to my appointment and they were going to close very soon. Regardless, they took me in and Tim even ended up staying a little past closing until my problem was resolved. He was very knowledgeable and toward the end, he didn't even charge for his help since we managed to fix it there and then. read more

This little gem of a place should be your go to fix it shop for all your Mac devices, if it isn't already! I've been doing business with them for over 20 years and they know their stuff. Family owned and operated, they give you personal attention you won't get from the Apple Genius Bar. They provide support for older Macs as well, so don't throw that old Mac away just yet. Sometimes it's worth keeping that old Mac just for the applications. Got a virus? Need a new OS installed? Need more memory? Had a hard drive failure? This is your new favorite tech support place! I promise, you will love their service and their reasonable prices! read more

I agree with other reviewers telling you to save yourself a trip to Victoria Gardens or Best Buy to come here instead (you're supporting small business in the process!). This place has been around a while and is LEGIT. The woman helping me (who I assume is one of the owners) was very kind and patient when trying to diagnose my laptop. She answered all of my questions and it felt so nice being in a small store where I didn't have to wait or feel rushed. Being someone who is completely computer illiterate, she explained everything to me in a way that made sense. Turns out it was just my charger and nothing was actually wrong with my laptop. read more

I woke up to my 2011 macbook pro swollen and hot. The track pad was about to burst and I seriously thought my computer was a ticking time bomb. I tried making an appointment at the uptight genius bar in Victoria gardens but they wouldn't see me until 4 days later so one of their other choices was this place. The place is ran by older people but they were very knowledgeable and pleasant. I just wish that they would call when my computer is ready so I wouldn't have to go calling them a day after they'd said the laptop would be ready. For running diagnostics, replacing a new battery and the legwork the total was around $210. Pricey but it beats having a 3k+ laptop explode in my living room. read more

Big save! Had my old iMac to two local places who were unable to fix it. Should have started with Cornice first. They're Apple certified and we're able to retrieve my family photos and data after two others were unable. So grateful for them as these pics are of my kids first few years. Highly recommend them!!! read more

I needed help with a computer problem - come to find out I was the problem! However, the gentleman (Tim?) who helped me solve my dilemma was extremely professional, savvy, kind, and HELPFUL! I have been down to the "Genius Bar" and, trust me, they have little "genius" when it comes to customer service.Try this service first-I doubt you will be disappointed! Thank you, Cornice! read more

I was profoundly disappointed when I went to this place that advertises itself as an "Authorized Apple Service Provider". I brought my Apple iPhone 5S to them to have the battery replaced. The nice young lady behind the counter told me, "we're not set up for that." How can an authorize Apple service provider not be set up to replace a battery in an Apple iPhone? It only takes one tool to open the case, and two minutes to drop in a new battery. What am I missing here? I didn't see this coming. I had such high hopes when I entered the place. Looking around, I saw prestigious technical certifications mounted on the walls. Truly, these people have the expertise to service Apple products. They had numerous repaired Apples and Macs on the shelf waiting to be picked up by their owners. I was crestfallen. This grade reflects the despair I felt as I stood there in stark disbelief. I hung my head, turned around and walked out with tears in my eyes. read more

This place is a breath of fresh air. Better than standing in a over crowded Apple Store. Glad they have this option now. Brought in my MacBook Pro Because it stopped turning on. They did a diagnostic told me what was wrong. They kept in touch with me throughout everything. Prompt response and great work. read more

Let me first start off by saying that your computer breaking down amidst a pandemic is really an inconvenient affair. My 13 inch Mac book pro's screen went black as I was paying bills... Apple stores around were closed during the lockdown. I reached out to Apple via text support. They wanted me to go to Brea (not exactly down the street for me) and charge me $200 for diagnostics... they gave me an alternative, which was Cornice, 10 minutes away from. I spoke with Tim and several other associates there. From the beginning, they were courteous, understanding, and most important, transparent with everything. They told me from the very beginning that they were already experiencing a several week wait period if I wished to do business with them. They told me Apple, for lack of a better phrase, was incorrect in their diagnostic pricing. Also, it turns out, all of the issues my laptop succumbed to were all under a special Apple Care program devoid of the warranty I had purchased some years ago, which had expired. I went from a $200 diagnostic to free diagnostic, free replacement parts and labor under this program. I was sent emails throughout the process just checking in with me where they were in the process. If it wasn't for them, I'd still be stuck with a dead computer and learning how to pay bills via mobile. PS: they take social distancing very serious. They sanitize the lobby after every customer, so don't expect to walk in without first calling. THATS how you handle crowd control in a pandemic. Will be telling all my Apple comrades that this is the place to go. read more

I called and went to the Apple store a few times to fix my laptop and they were not able to help. I finally went to Cornice and they were able to solve the problem before Apple was even able to get me a new appointment at their Rancho store . The people at Cornice were nice, knowledgeable and efficient. My apple care warranty worked here too and I didn't have to wait around. I will never go to the apple store again if I don't have to. :) read more

I am impressed with the professionalism and support from the team at Cornice. Definitely recommend !!!

Very rude, bad service, had no choice to bring my Mac here since Apple stores are closed. Very disappointed

Staf was incredibly helpful! They fixed my problem with my 1 year old MacBook Pro, prevented me from spending more than I needed. I will go again if I ever need it. They also sourced a battery for my old Powerbook that I couldn't find anywhere. read more

Not sure how this facility is Apple certified or in business. By far one of the worst customer service experiences I have had. I was referred by Apple to Cornice and that's were all my problems got worse. The backlight on my 2016 MacBook Pro was broken and Apple informed me it would be covered due to a recall they issued. After I dropped off my MacBook, it took the technician at Cornice 3 DAYS to get back to me. They claimed my whole display needed to be replaced and I have to pay 600 dollars. After I explained that I was able to see my display using a flashlight (indicating it was just a backlight issue), the technician at Cornice said my MacBook didn't qualify for the 2016 recall (even though my MacBook IS 2016). He also said because they took the laptop apart, they can't confirm if it was just a backlight issue when I dropped it off. In other words, if they made my MacBook worse, they cannot confirm that. The technician then told me to call Apple myself and see if they would be okay with covering the whole display. When I called Apple, they not only told me they would cover the replacement of my whole display but that I also shouldn't have had to call Apple myself and that Cornice should have called on my behalf. Today, I went to pick up my laptop so I can send it an Apple facility for repair. When the technician at Cornice handed me my MacBook, it had two big scratches on the front, which weren't there before. When I pointed them out to the technician, he admitted that I dropped off my MacBook without any scratches but Apple is going to replace the whole display so it won't matter. No apology, no nothing. I am genuinely confused at how this place operates. I for sure won't be coming back and I'll be telling all my friends and family to not visit this Apple "certified" facility. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. If you're Mac is under warranty or covered by AppleCare, Cornice is an Authorized Apple Service Provider so it's just like taking it to the Apple Store (minus the crowds and wait.) My SuperDrive was faulty but covered under warranty so Cornice had the part ordered and installed in a few days. Since my MacBook Pro was going to be opened anyway, they even installed my new RAM free of charge. Thanks again for that! Now Apple only covers hardware repairs at non-Apple sites so they couldn't help me out with that for free but their prices seemed fair and the staff is definitely honest and fair. So save yourself a trip to Victoria Gardens or Brea and stop by Cornice on Benson first. read more

I am 59 years old and my iBook took a plunge on Monday I brought it to Courtney's and in three days they fixed it not only did they recover all my information they put me a Hydro extended drive in it and it's warrantee the people are nice it's easy to talk to they explain things awesomely I love this place if anyone has any type of read more

I have been taking my Mac's here for 20 years as I worked for a printer in Claremont and also have Mac's for my personal business. They are really nice and friendly people who do a fantastic job. If you need help - they are there for you. I have never been disappointed. read more

I've done business with Cornice (Tim) several times they always do a great job professional and very knowledgeable

I am sooo grateful I decided to get a 2nd quote here for my MacBook repair. The first place I went to said to fix the issue would cost almost $600. After I dropped off my laptop at Cornice, they notified me that the issue was a recall item that I was covered under and I ended up only paying the diagnostic fee of $65. Thank you for being diligent and honest and having great customs service! read more

Waste of time, waited 30 mins to be told they won't have results until next week. i get covid19 precautionary measures but i showed up for my appointment i wasn't allowed in i was turned away at the door and told to call the first 2 times i called i was in hold for so long the phone hung up finally after walking back to the door and being turned away they get back to me telling me to send a email i send the email it takes 20 mins. To get a email back saying give them time to input my info long story short I'm just pissed because they could have given me all this information over the phone and i wasted time thinking i would actually get something resolved today read more

I was referred here by Apple over the phone. Cornice stated that it would be $100 for the initial assessment and that there would only be extra fees if they found corrosion and that they would notify me before proceeding. They called me stating that everything was repaired and asked if I wanted to proceed with repairing the display of my Mac (an extra $400) which I declined. However, when I went to pick up my laptop I was charged an extra $125. I was confused because I was not informed of this on the phone and they stated that there was corrosion. They did not inform me prior to proceeding. Poor communication makes me more frustrated than anything. If you need to repair something and charge me for it, please be upfront. read more

Fast, efficient and Friendly. I took my MacBook pro in for performance issues and they diagnosed and fixed it quickly. The price was very reasonable, especially since I thought I would have to replace it. Would definitely recommend and use again. read more

I took my 7 year old Mac Book in for service at Cornice, an authorized Apple repair location listed on Apple's website. I made an appointment online and took it in. Karen and Tim were professional and courteous. Turns out I needed a new battery which they ordered and installed. Thanks for the great customer service. read more

I brought my MacBook Air here as apple stores are closed due to pandemic. I had issues with websites loading in text only, slowness, no pics, etc. I called when I got there and barely got through the door before Karen was coming at me telling me I should only bring the computer in. I had my purse that I didn't want to leave in the car. Karen is rude, condescending, and when I finally was allowed to pick up my unfixed computer over a week later, I was given a very nasty look by her. Horrible customer service, and a total waste of time. They did the same thing to my computer I had told them I had done twice before. My computer is still having the same issue. Karen does NOT listen. She is too "important". Totally irritating waste of time. Would not recommend. read more

I've been bringing my Macs here for over 25 years. So much easier than a trip to the genius bar. When I recently retrieved a repaired PowerBook, I was surprised to hear "no charge" for a fix that included a new logic board. Although I told them my PowerBook was out of warranty, they double-checked with Apple "just in case" and found my unit was covered by AppleCare. Saved me over a thousand bucks. read more

Cornice did a great job fixing my Mac's OS System. I tried Cornice because I've had a negative experience with the Apple store in Victoria Gardens in the past. I was able to get a same day appointment, even around the holidays. It took two weeks to fix my Mac, but the pricing was very fair, and the customer service was good. They saved my data like they said they would and explained the processes thoroughly as they systematically tested my laptop. I will never go to the Apple store again for service now that I have Cornice as a resource! read more

Small little computer place but has amazing customer service and communication. They are willing to work with your pay schedules and payments. Seems like they really care about their customers. Will definitely be a returning customer. Thanks Cornice for being a great, honest, and caring business. read more

Great work! Highly recommend, fast and efficient, clear and concise, always guiding the client with several options and letting the client chose while also being willing to provide expert opinions. Economical and detail oriented - I keep having crisis events with my computers around various holidays and they still are able to squeeze me in and get my Mac back up and running and back in my hands promptly. Much faster than the Apple Store, and the Apple Store suggested that I go to Cornice for the fastest changing out of inner parts on my laptop. I am a happy repeat customer. read more

looked professional but wasnt happy with the pricing

This is the place to take your Mac. VERY professional, courteous, knowledgeable, efficient, and helpful. They explain every charge that could be anticipated and the prices are fair. I never give 5 stars but this is the best! read more
