My mid-2012 MacBook Pro was slowing down and the trackpad was having problems, likely due to a swelling battery as I had the same problem in the past. I have been working with Macs for almost 30 years and at one point, I had my own business and supported 15 Mac users. I am capable of adding memory and hard drives to a Mac. When I looked at the video for installing a new battery, which requires extensive disassembly of computer, I decided to seek professional help. After looking at reviews of local shops, Mac Daddy looked like a good place to try. I purchased 16 GB of RAM and a 480 GB SSD on my own, because I could get better pricing, and Bodhi supplied my new battery. He had no problem installing parts that I supplied. I scheduled an appointment, dropped off my computer, and had it back in about 24 hours. During all of my interactions with Bodhi, he was always knowledgable, friendly, and his prices were reasonable. He totally understood the importance of redundant backups and even keeps old hard drives for a week, in case there is a problem with a new install. I will be telling all my friends about Bodhi at Mac Daddy in Sebastopol. Oh, and my laptop runs like a brand new computer, it's just as peppy as my wife's 2015 15" Retina Display Macbook Pro. And, it cost ~$2000 less than a new computer! read more

My iPhone screen was severely damaged due to dropping it frequently. I have to carry my device with me at all times due to having apps on my phone for a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin pump. I called MacDaddy and Bodhi let me know I could come in the next day and he instructed me to bring an old iPhone so I can have the medical devices active. I also needed a new battery. When I dropped the phone off to get fixed, the tech set up the old iPhone to ensure the medical devices would work and I could also get calls and texts as well. That was a huge relief for me. The phone was ready in a few hours and the new screen was beautiful and he also put a screen protector on it for no charge. The battery works great and charges much faster now. We have gone to MacDaddy for iPhone repairs and we will continue to go in the future. They are very friendly, very upfront about issues and charges, and there are no surprises when the device is ready. They are also conveniently located in Sebastopol and I would recommend them highly. read more

My iMac with the original Yosemite OSX on it, was in dire need of several levels of upgrade. I was desperate in my search for someone skilled to do what was needed, and who also made house calls. I took a chance on MacDaddy after reading a number of Yelp reviews. MacDaddy gave me an estimate on the phone that was reasonable. We made an appointment, he arrived on time, he patiently and clearly talked me through the entire process of what he was doing, and spoke in a language that readily translated his tech knowledge into a more every day variety that I easily understood. My iMac OS has now been significantly upgraded, all loose ends have been taken care of, outdated programs have been eliminated, the computer is working smoothly, and I have a pretty good idea of all that was done and why. Working with MacDaddy was an all around good experience. I will call him again in an hour of need, and recommend you do the same should such a need arise between you and your Mac. Thanks, Bodhi. B.

Last fall, I made the very unfortunate mistake of leaving my new MacBook outside overnight, and of course, the first rain of the year happened to be that night. Needless to say, I was very dismayed at the idea that my new ( very expensive) computer would now be permanently destroyed. However, I researched the subject extensively and learned exactly what to do. First of all, DO NOT turn it on or plug it in. Next, open it up in a tent-like postion and put it on front of a fan or a heater on low setting ( do not overheat). Now, give it a couple days to air out. After a few days, bring it into MacDaddy and have them clean it. This will prevent corrosion. After doing all of this, to my great joy and delight, it turned on and operated perfectly from that day forward. I consider myself very lucky to have found a local store that was able to give me advice and help me recover my cherished MacBook. read more

My wife and I are reasonably smart about computers, but over the last 5 years computers have just become hard for us to track EVERYTHING with as much accuracy as we have in the past.....We decided we needed someone to look over our shoulder (or better we are looking over their shoulder now) to make sure we are doing the best thing with our computers. MacDaddy was recommended by 2 friends, and we are glad we listened to them. It is wonderful to have someone come to your home and make your computer function better than we could have imagined. They are now on an annual check up schedule. Hooray we can actually relax for the first time. read more

This is the best computer repair shop in the North Bay. I have been using computers since 1985 and the biggest problem, that I have found, is finding a honest, quick, and professional shop to help me when things get fouled up. I have been all over and have had some fair help, but good, great, and consistent help with my laptop have been hard to find. Bohdi runs a great shop that puts service, courtesy, and kindness first. My computer gets fixed "right and right the first time." No repeat visits are need to solve the same problem. Some shop has to be the best, and this is it. Super patient and helpful to seniors. read more

Was very pleased with the service , Bodhi and Mac Daddy gave us with the software problem on our desk top computer and the repair to an Iphone. Both things were done with efficiency and professionalism. It was soo nice to have some one who was responsible and trustworthy come to our home and do the phone repair but also go thru some functions of both that we needed to learn about. It was also great to be updated with the repair status of the desk top almost daily. His services were reasonably priced and we would use him again in the future and recommend him to anyone needing help with their equipment. read more

transparency, this is the second review I'm writing for Mac Daddy repairs: I had my first true Mac emergency. The display on my laptop conked out suddenly; not just during corona time, but during tax time, and my computer was out of warranty. A triple whammy. Bodhi was brilliant and provided a solution for me to "hobble along" and access my computer while waiting for a new display to arrive at his shop. WOW that was small town big thinking service! The display arrived, the surgery was performed and I was very gratefully back in business. I bow down to Mac Daddy. Thank you, thank you Bodhi read more

MacDaddy Repairs Rocks!!! I had a dream to do my Zoom class in my office in my home where the internet/Wifi reception was very poor. The agent at MacDaddy knew exactly what I wanted and guided me to getting it done cheaply and with amazing success- all I needed was an ethernet cable and an adaptor! And I think they had the only adaptor for my MacBook Pro in Sonoma County!! Before I did his set-up, my internet speed in that room was 35mbps and after-735mbps! I hosted an all-day Zoom class with no internet problems! MacDaddy and B-o-d-h-i saved the day!!!!! Thank you MacDaddy!!! Susan R read more

Bodhi is the consumate customer service and satisfaction guy! He went out of his way to work with me regarding a data retrieval issue, and was extremely fair on the price for what should have cost much more. I just had an ugly interaction with a driver of a certain delivery company (brown trucks) the other day, and was feeling very doubtful about the existence of "customer service", but Bodhi restored my faith. Needless to say, I will continue to bring my Mac to him for service, and also recommend Mac Daddy to anyone looking for a quality experience. read more

My wife's Mac Airbook was almost unusable. glitching and pop ups made it where we couldn't do much of anything on it. We almost bought a new computer, but at the last minute I decided to look into repair. I contacted Mac Daddy Repairs and they quickly returned my call and were very straightforward with their pricing based on my issue. I dropped it off and they finished earlier than they had estimated. Repairing over replacing saved us so much money! The laptop has been performing flawlessly since our "tune up". thanks Mac Daddy Repairs!! read more

MacDaddy Repairs -- they are fabulous. Brought in a very slow MacBookPro (Snow Leopard), and found out it had a broken Touchpad among other things. They bumped up my RAM...and now the laptop is in much better shape. I received consistent updates about what they had completed, and it was done in a very timely manner, plus the repair cost was reasonable. MacDaddy was professional and courteous, and I appreciate that they're located not too far from where I live. I highly recommend MacDaddy Repairs for any computer repairs... read more

I took my iPhone to Mac Daddy because I needed a new screen protector and case. Bodhi was able to provide what I needed and he replaced the screen cover in the few minutes that I was there. I think it's great to have a helpful and reliable Apple repair business right here in Sebastopol. It saved me from having to go to the always busy and chaotic Apple Store in Santa Rosa, which I never look forward to! Bodhi did a great job and the cost was very reasonable. I will definitely return the next time I have an Apple issue! read more

Excellent! I've gotten two different MacBooks fixed by them. Both times the service was superquick, they were totally helpful, the price was right, and they followed up to make sure that things were still working well after the fact. The Mac store at the mall tried to tell me they couldn't fix my MacBooks because they were more than five years old and tried to sell me a new computer. These guys were able to order parts and fix everything for me. They definitely earned this review and a repeat customer for sure. read more

I took it in and it was ready the next day!.. such a good price too! very glad i brought my Mac in.. and so happy i didn't have to buy a new computer... thanks Mac Daddy! read more

These folks are a class act. Bodhi is a really nice guy and knows his computer stuff! He came out to set up a new computer for us, upgraded my husbands macbook and set up our network. Very reasonable and always on time! As glitches arise he has been very responsive to getbthings straightened out and running again. I am not the greatest at the tech stuff and it is wonderful to have someone you can call upon to keep it all working. So to sum it up, reliable, prompt and reasonable. Highly recommended! read more

Mac Daddy repairs was very professional. They tried several times to do a quick fix of my iPad for free at first, and then for a nominal fee. Unfortunately, they decided that they would have to open it up instead to fix it. The cost to fix was a bit high for my price range, however, they ended up offering me a more than fair price to purchase my iPad. I would recommend them to look at your broken devices and who knows, they may offer you a good deal to purchase your's if you aren't attached to keeping it! read more

I've got a 3 year or so old MSI laptop with a battery that was seriously degraded. I called Mac Daddy and they took care of ordering the part and installing it one afternoon when I dropped it off. It's now working like new and was able to stay on from SFO to O'Hare last week. I've replaced batteries in other devices (laptops and smartphones) over the years and it's always a crap shoot to see if it works like new....but in this case it does! My thanks to Mac Daddy for just making it happen! read more

I was having issues with my iPhone 12 mini overheating - I called MacDaddy and setup an appointment. Bodhi and his staff are quite knowledgeable, and they knew exactly what was going on with my phone. I dropped my phone off, and picked it up the next day. I left with a newly installed battery and a new screen. The cost of repair was reasonable and a plus that it is a local business in Sebastopol. My Phone is working perfectly and I would highly recommend their shop for any repairs. read more
