On April 7, 2026, I went to Experimax to get a new computer. Landon welcomed me, and I explained I needed an updated device for my tax return. Though my old computer worked, it was too outdated for the software. Landon had someone assist me in selecting a perfect match and arranged to transfer my data. I also mentioned I'd return for another computer for remote work. When I came back on April 9, Landon helped me pick a second computer that met all my needs. On top of that, he also assisted me with setting up my profile, making sure everything was personalized and ready to go. In the past, they even resolved a phone issue I had, showing consistent excellence. Overall, I've had fantastic experiences. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and makes everything seamless. I highly recommend Experimax! Thanks again, Landon read more

Staff is friendly and has always been focused on solving my computer issues as inexpensively as possible. I trust their recommendations! Joel read more

I have been very pleased at all my dealings over the past 4 or 5 years with Experimax on Main St. The staff has been very helpful both with our purchases and with any follow-up questions either on the phone or in person. I highly recommend them. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THEM. I've brought phones over to them and they have without a miss give me my phone back with something else broken. All for me to come back and they point the finger out at me. I was assumed of lying, (to be honest). Talking to me as if I'm not telling the truth. I have a lifestyle I hold and it's no excuse can be very hard to get out in Buisness hours because my job! I've tried humbly doing good Buisness with them but the owner is not someone I'd want to ever give any services too. Never again. Not trusted. Love read more

Called this morning, took in my Mac shortly thereafter and had it back fixed by the close of business. Jeff, who helped me, had good customer services skills and was a good conversationalist as well. I've been to a few different places for service previously, and was less than satisfied in the aftermath. That can not be said here! If I ever need a repair again, this will be the place I go! read more

I was in the market for a new MacBook Pro for some music production and graphic design work. I found everything I needed and more here! Leonard was amazing and even though my MacBook came with the charger, a complimentary hard case (I chose red from a variety of colors), and a matching keyboard cover, he also upgraded my RAM to 8GB!!!! The care that went into making sure I was purchasing exactly what I needed was so refreshing! I will definitely be frequenting this black-owned business for all my Apple needs!!! read more

See all

I have used this shop twice for my computer and once for my phone. The staff have all been super friendly and helpful. They try the simple solutions first and try to save all costs they can. They are very forward about pricing and ensure you are okay with proceeding with the repair. They are also quick and contact you when work is complete. Highly recommend! read more

I used to go here back when it was a store by another name that had all the same services. I've taken many items here and have ALWAYS preferred their speed, customer service, and the lack of a huge crowd to the service the Apple store provides. This place is approved by Apple, so last I checked--and I may be wrong--repairs made under the warranty are free (Unless you voided it somehow.) Like I said, a HUGE PLUS is the fact that the store is small; The line of people waiting for their Genius Bar "reservation" (Which Apple has a different definition of which is "The time you'll show up and take a number" rather than "The time you'll show up and get serviced, even if someone else walked in before you at the same time WITHOUT a reservation"), that amount of people will not FIT inside this building. They have a small waiting area, but that's it--and it's a plus. You can call ahead and make an appointment or walk in, but odds are at most, there can only be between 4-6 people in line before you. The other plus; They repair on site. Apple's policy--at their stores--is to ALWAYS ship your computer back to Apple if it has more than a minor, and I mean MINOR issue (Minor as in, "Oh, I can't figure out the brightness setting" or "How do I connect things via Bluetooth?") Worse, is Apple has this cute policy; Any issue you bring a system in for, they ship it out, do the most minor repair, and return it. My issue was a keyboard on an old laptop got recalled; I hated the old keyboard and when I saw my laptop was part of the recall to replace them, to the Apple store I took it. INSTEAD of replacing it--like the recall SAID IT WOULD--they shipped it out. . .to have someone clean the keys. When they returned it and explained, I said I had brought it in for the RECALL REPLACEMENT keyboard, and if a cleaning was all it needed, I'd never had brought it in (Some of us routinely clean our own!) The employee told me they were aware of the recall, but it's Apple's POLICY to pull this stunt, and then force the customer to return YET AGAIN to get the service as promised. For the record; When Job's was alive, Apple's customer service was amazing--previously they actually mailed me a free keyboard when my Bluetooth one wouldn't synch, paid for the shipping, etc., and told me it was just routine service. That was 2005; 15 years later, you can't get that kind of service. . .from Apple. But you CAN get amazing service HERE. Your computer, if possible, will be repaired on site. Instead of two weeks (Apple store standard repair time), it's two days. I trust these guys and use them exclusively--I even buy new or refurbished through them, as their prices often beat out Amazon, eBay, etc. If you hate the service at Apple for repairs, you aren't alone; Go here. Experience what it's like to have the people working on your computer be not just some of the best at repair, data recovery, and even overclocking, but the best at customer service while they're at it. read more

walked in for apple lightning earbuds. asked if they sold authentic apple earbuds and they handed me a pair of fake cheap temu earbuds for the price of official apple earbuds. don't trust any of their products when they blatantly lie about the authenticity. now i'm stuck with these overpriced low quality fake earbuds. update* sat on the earbuds and they crumbled like a cookie. read more

I love Experimax! Always help me out with my laptop or phone issues, quickly and for a better price than Apple would. Great service and great shop. read more

Went in this morning after having phone issues, The guy who fixed my phone was very nice and did it in a timely manner. I am so grateful that he was able to fix it in under an hour! The customer service was amazing and I will be sure to refer my friends and go back again for any apple needs I have in the future. Thanks Experimax! read more

Couldn't BE better! I was passing through town, and constantly dying battery on iPhone had to be addressed. They knew EXACTLY what was going on, (who knew iPhone batteries die?!) -- replaced immediately, at nominal price, recommended lovely coffee shop nearby while I waited, AND -- kindly showed me all manner of features on the phone I hadn't taken time to learn about before -- without making me feel like an idiot. Super nice, knowledgeable, helpful, efficient. Makes me want to travel to Richmond JUST FOR them! read more

If I could give Experimac more than 5 stars, I would. I've been here on two separate occasions for iPhone screen replacements and each experience has been fantastic. Leonard, the owner, goes above and beyond in what he does and really seems to care about his customers. The store itself is very clean, modern, and organized. On top of that, the prices are very affordable. I will definitely be returning for future phone/computer repairs and referring friends to this location. Thank you Leonard and team for your excellent work and service. 100% recommend! read more

This location has the best customer service hands down. I have made a few purchases from here a mac book air and an iMac and both computers were very well priced. If I had an issue big or small, the owner Leonard would always fix it in a timely manner. I will definitely continue to shop her for all my Apple needs. read more

I cannot say enough kind things about my experience here. I was having a laptop issue and it was fixed same day. This is my third time using this company for help with my Apple products. The owner is always so kind and always works with a smile. I would most certainly recommend them to anyone in need of their services. read more

Excellent service for Mac repair. Very fair price. This is the place to go if you have any issues with a Mac or want to save money purchasing a newer model. read more

Best service hands down! I will be a repeat spender at this location. Everyone was super friendly , helpful, and kind plus the service was fast. No complaints here! read more

I've had trouble with every PC I've ever owned. I decided that I was going to purchase a Mac and actually went to a different shop on Cary Street to do so. When I got to the other shop, as I expected, the prices were outrageous and they were sold out. I stumbled upon Experimac on accident. The staff was very friendly, helpful and answered all of my questions. Experimac sells mostly refurbished Mac computers, however they stand behind the products they sell. I had an issue with the battery in my Mac, I called and they replaced it without question. I also purchased the extended warranty plan which covers pretty much everything and I would recommend that you do the same. Experimac is a small shop that specializes in repairs, so at times that get extremely busy. You may have to wait, but it's well worth it. read more

I read the reviews before going here because it was my first time. The reviews seemed good why not try them out. I went to sell my 2017 Macbook Air and all they could offer me was 100?! That's crazy. I know next time I want to sell something, I'll be going to another experimax. $100 for a 2017 Macbook Air, that's a ripoff! Thought I could of at least got $350. I'm not blaming the dude that looked at my laptop he was nice, but the guy that offered $100 my laptop is ridiculous. read more

My husband, niece, and I came across Experimac yesterday as we were moving said niece into the VCU campus. Her iPhone's screen was cracked, and we definitely needed it to be repaired before the semester started. Was very impressed overall. We were honestly expecting that she wouldn't get her phone back until Monday (in which she'd have to figure out how to get there since we were only around for the move-in). But at 4:50 pm, we got a call that her phone screen was replaced and ready to pickup. Massive bonus points when the owner told us that we could still stop by even after shop hours just so my niece could be reunited with her phone. That gesture alone showed me that this place really care about making the customers happy. I'll definitely be coming back here whenever I visit my niece and will require service regarding her iPhone and Macbook. Cost of the repair was moderate (she even got a screen protector), but then again I sometimes think you simply are paying more for Apple stuff (and just have to acknowledge that reality). And I like their financing options on pre-owned Macbooks (which are already reasonable in terms of price) if I'm ever faced with the dreaded reality of replacing the kid's older version. So seriously, thank you Experimac for the awesome experience - and giving me a way better option for all things Apple! Sincerely, from a grateful aunt of a new college student read more

They were the first ones to get back to me when I needed my screen fixed on my 6s & they weren't charging me over $200 like every other place . It took about an hour& they gave me 10% off & a temper glass screen for my phone! These guys were super nice!! A++ for customer service ! Hopefully my screen won't get cracked again but if it does I'll be back to these guys ! I feel like I have a whole new phone ! Thanks guys ! They also buy and sell iPhones and macs for a good price ! I would Definitely recommend them to everyone!! read more

It's great to have this place in the neighborhood. I hate driving to Short Pump to the Apple store. No waiting forever here! The service is great and the workers are so knowledgeable. read more

Wife took our gaming PC here to be repaired since they said they work on PCs as well. Said they would call later that day or the next day at the latest. Three days later, no call so we call. We are told that their tech would call us by the end of that day. No call. Called again on the fourth day and was told that the graphics card is dead and that we need a new one. This didn't make sense since we tried a different graphics card and it didn't solve the problem. We took the computer to a different repair company and they tested everything, including the video card, which they confirmed was fine. The issue was the motherboard, which required replacement. Can't get back the wasted days leaving this with Experimac, but I would like back my $25 diagnostic fee. At least I didn't waste $500 by taking their incorrect advice and buying a new card. read more

I highly recommend this business. Customer service was stellar and they stood by their warranty service as well. They wouldn't let me leave until I was satisfied with their work! read more

I would like to recommend Experimac and especially Alex for helping me with my iPad. He was knowledgeable and figured out the problem. And very patient with my lack of IPad know how. I will be back for any of my computer problems. They also sell computers so I will definitely check them out when it is time to buy. read more

Experimax is the best place to go in RVA for Apple product repairs. They do a great job in a short amount of time. No appointment needed. Their warranty is great on service too. Go check them out! (I've had a iphone screen replaced, iphone battery replaced, ipad screen replaced, tempered glass covers installed, fixed a broken iphone after a drop). read more

I had such a nightmare experience here! Please consider this review before taking your devices here! I came in for a simple screen replacement on my daughters iPad 6. It took almost all week to get it fixed. It looked ok when picked up, about a week later the home button completely slid off! I was so upset. Again brought it back to get it fixed. The owner was less than caring about the situation they caused. Finally after several days, I called to check and they were calling the wrong number, blaming it on me. Then they said they would replace the battery & refund me for the inconvenience. Picked the iPad up and 2 days later the screen was lifting up a lot and the home button was loose again! I couldn't believe this! I took the device to iRite and they found out it was a complete botch job! Old adhesive wasn't cleaned out, they completely stripped the screws and they were missing that held the glass screen on, & the home button was put on wrong -losing itouch capabilities, also they couldn't confirm if the battery was replaced. I had to pay another company to fix their mistakes!! Unbelievable!! Stay away from this place!! read more

My experience with them was great from the start. I requested a quote though Yelp with a quick response and the fairest rate of all the competitors in the area. Went in for a consult and they were ready to replace my camera lens the next day. It took exactly the length of time estimated with a lens that looked brand new. Definitely recommend them for iPhone repairs. read more

Bought a Groupon for a screen replacement, walked in 30 minutes later and they were able to take care of it within 30 minutes of walking in. Great customer service...I hope I don't have to come back, but if I crack my screen again this is where I'm coming! Thank you!! read more

My iphone 6 battery was dying! Completely on it's death bed - it would go from 90% battery to 4 % battery after reading one text message lol. After going to the overcrowded Apple Store and letting them test it, I was told that my battery was "consumed" and needed to be replaced soon. Now, I won't get on my soap box about the crappy iphone 6 batteries that Apple created -but if you have an iphone 6 chances are you feel my pain! Of course, I was out of my warranty and I refused the offer of the gleeful Apple staff member to pay " a small cost of ONLY $79 + tax" to replace the battery AND leave my phone there for an entire day, due to the backup of work-orders. I left and decided to find an alternative and/or just allow my phone to die in peace, before chunking out money. As I was running an errand, I happened to see a sign for ExperiMac. I swerved quick, put my fire parallel parking skills to work, used my Usain Bolt inspired speed to jolt across cary street during mid day traffic, and somehow made it inside alive to inquire about their charge for an iphone battery replacement. Here are key points from my experience: 1. Iphone 6 battery replacement was $39 + tax ($42.11). Half the price of Apple 2. Note: I personally wasn't worried about my apple warranty being voided since mine had already expired. But if you are, then you may want to check on that first 3. They estimate approx. 30 minutes for the job depending on how many customers are in front of you. Since someone was in front of me, it took them around 45 min to fully complete my replacement. Which is better than leaving it at the Apple Store for 24 hrs and having to drive all the way back out to short pump again 4. Process was easy and straight to the point - filled out an work order form and that was it 5. Your battery replacement comes with a 90 day warranty should anything go wrong 6. They have a small seating area, should you decide to just wait around. But they are near so many shops and restaurants that you can walk around in the fan to kill time 7. They also sell refurbished Mac computers and accessories. 8. The customer service was great! The owner was personable, friendly and professional 9. The store was clean, stocked, and organized - which is a plus! 10. They threw in a nice microfiber screen cleaner with the company name on it (sorta like the ones that come with designer sunglasses). Nice touch and good marketing strategy All in all, this store is a nice addition to the community and it can help save you some money in the clutch! read more

I was able to replace my dying iPhone battery for $40, which was cheaper than anywhere else I could find around the area. Their service is very fast and painless, and I was able to pick up my repaired phone within an hour. They even downloaded a battery life checker app to show the working condition of the new battery that was installed. I'll definitely come back in the future for any other repair needs. read more

Awesome place and quick turnaround. I was short on time and needed my 4 Mac Books for the business repaired. An SBO does not have time to wait at an Apple Store. If you have Cognac taste but Mad Dog money this is the place! read more

Excellent service! My iPhone was broken for 2 days and I had taken it to a different phone repair store and they weren't able to fix it. I brought it in to Experimac and Kelvin was able to fix my phone right away! The guys here are very knowledgeable on all Apple products and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone in the Richmond area! read more

I took my computer here after taking it to 2 other pc repair shops that couldn't fix my issue. I was greeted immediately by the Professional, courteous,knowledgeable staff! They diagnosed and fixed my computer the same day. They had no issues answering my questions. The shop is very clean and inviting. I'll be coming here for all my computer and cell phone repairs. Bonus: they also buy and sell Mac read more

I've walked in twice with two different problems... laptop weirdness and cracked iPhone screen... and the employees here have been really helpful and fast. Also, the price I paid here for replacing a screen was a full $75 less than the price a competitor quoted! read more

My son's iPhone 5 was on it's last leg. He got some money for Christmas and wanted a new phone. He was thrilled to be able to afford a refurbished 6+! Leonard and Kelvin were very friendly, helpful and patient. I definitely recommend! read more

I was so happy to not have to leave the city and drive to an Apple store to get my phone fixed. After smashing the screen badly I drove over without making an appointment, and within 2 hours had my phone back as good as new! Didn't have to wait in line and the techs were working on my phone within minutes. Very nice staff, never going to the Apple store again if I can avoid it! read more

worst experience! The quality of service goes down every year.Choose another repair store or another location. I took my son's iPad in for a new screen and they returned it with scratches inside the new screen so I took it right back and the manager said they would have to replace it again and have it ready for me the next day... I went to get it and it was new scratches in different places and the guy who fixed it told me that, that's how all their screens look that they fix which was a stupid explanation (and sad if it's true) and I know he just was lying because he didn't want me to say anything to the owner again. Then once I got home I realized he had messed up my son's digitizer and I couldn't click the screen in certain places and That had never been an issue. I called to complain and no one ever got back with me so I just decided to not go back because of the horrible customer service and LACK of accountability. read more

My iPhone had an encounter with a car tire, and the screen took the worst of it. A half hour with Experimax made it as good as new. My V-company purchased insurance deductible would have charged well over double that, with the only option being a new phone instead of repair. read more

Highly recommend for phone repairs. Great service! Quick repair and very kind staff. I could not be happier. Plus, 10% off for students. My screen broke and they fixed it in 30 minutes. When I picked up my phone it was a nice surprise to find that they placed a screen protector free of charge! When I got home my camera and flashlight button wasn't working. I called the following day and they agreed to fix the problem free of charge. read more
