My company has bought used Macbooks from them for the past 5 years, never had any issues. Last year screen on a Macbook Pro (bought elsewhere) dead. They repaired it for a reasonable cost and gave me a six month warranty. 2 weeks before the warranty expires, I get a black band on the screen. I call them, they said, bring it over. Two hours later I have a replacement screen installed. It's a small business, and it must have cost them, but they honored the warranty. Thank you Ed. read more

Purchased a replacement LCD for my M1 Macbook Air (Product ID: A2337-SG-N $217.99). I went with them rather than Amazon because the cheap screens on Amazon (mind you, not that much cheaper; only like $40) are Chinese knockoffs while they claimed these are the same OEM parts that Apple uses. Installed fine, worked fine, then right around the 6 month mark, just like those Chinese knockoffs, the screen died. Asked if they could do anything about it, I just got a terse Email saying it's out of warranty period. I won't let my worst enemy purchase anything here. OK, I won't let my second worst enemy purchase anything here. read more

I came twice in less than 3 days, I have a son who's on the spectrum and heavily depends on iPads to get thru his day to day, well I walked in the first time hoping for a fix on a personal iPad that he had broke and unfortunately couldn't be fixed but was offered 4 kinds of iPads and all for such and incredibly reasonable price. I was so thankful for not just the kindness of everyone in the store but the over all experience. I had to return a short time after for yet another iPad due to the one I just bought went flying off the 3rd floor balcony but again was helped in the same exact manner as my first experience. Thank you ! This special needs family is so utterly grateful for this store! read more

Great repair at a very reasonable price. Very quick service. Replaced a display screen in under 1 hour. Great work!

Had a wonderful experience selling a MacBook Pro here. Total honesty about the price and very professional, fast service. Brought my laptop in and left with money 30 minutes later. read more

Been coming here over the years. Always great service and reasonable prices. It's great to have such small businesses in the local community. read more

Broke my iphone screen twice in less than two weeks and the people there were wonderful both times and did the job VERY efficiently. I can't express enough about their great service and the folks that work there. Highly recommend to anyone out there who is in need of any technology repair!!! read more

I contacted the folks at MacBlowouts and they were kind and honest enough to NOT sell me their services... Instead they offered advice on how we can resolve our issue. I sincerely appreciate their honesty and their expertise. read more

I was in need of an 85W Magsafe 2 charger for my aging Macbook and found this store on eBay. The eBay listing showed a price of 32.95 for a new (with scratches) charger - great! Much better than the 79 that Apple is asking new. The seller profile said they have a brick and mortar here in the south bay, so I figured I'd go in-person to check them out. I get there and ask the staff for the same model. They ring me up for 49.99 plus tax. I tell them the online listing is lower than that and the cashier drops it to 39.99 plus tax, saying he forgot to change it to the blemished item price. There's also no register to see the line item and subtotal before handing your card over for payment. I didn't bother bringing up the listing on eBay to compare until after I got home. A 7 dollar difference isn't huge but it's not what was advertised online so I decided to call and ask them to price adjust. Most vendors are happy to make post-sale changes to honor an advertised price (and they really aren't that difficult to do). I get the same guy on the phone who rang me up in-store. He tells me that's the sale price available on eBay only (really?) and factoring in tax it would cost the same anyways (no it wouldn't). He also said he doesn't have any power to do a price adjustment. Am I really writing a negative review over 7 dollars? Yes, because the cashier didn't care at all. If you do bother giving this store your business, make sure to bring the online listing with you to price match before you buy (or maybe don't bother going at all since it's their policy to charge more for the same item in-store.) Maybe just stick to online sales only if you're going to treat your in-store customers like crap! One more note: The in-store receipt states all sales are final, whereas the eBay site offers free returns. read more

I purchased a magic keyboard online, but there was an issue on the listing so what was delivered was not what I was expected. Ed was able to get it rectified, so fairly happy with the customer service :) read more

I bought a MacBook charger that didn't fit - I ordered the wrong one - and they did everything, and beyond, to make it right. I appreciate their excellent customer service. read more

My 21" 2013 iMac was running slow, very slow, almost unusable. So I decided to upgrade it to the latest. But that would cost me quite some.. and then who would but my older Mac without me losing a lot of money. So I decided to upgrade my factory installed HDD to SSD and also upgrade the memory from 8GB installed to 16GB. Challenge is these bad boys are not easily upgradeable by someone like me. You need expert installation (opening up the entire Mac to access the memory modules). I needed someone who knows what is to be done. So after a lot of searching I found MacBlowouts on Yelp! and reached out to them. They were quick in responding. They gave me a quote that worked well for me and assured that I get my computer back within a week. It's been about 6 months now after the upgrade and I have no complaints. Everything worked out well. On the latest Mac OS and not a single instance where it lagged. I very much recommend these guys for your Mac repairs/ upgrades! read more

Quite possibly the best deals to get locally. I've been using Macs for a while now and honestly think you can get what you need here. Why go to the Apple store if you don't have to. Check inventory, and their nice staff :-) read more

0 starts. Trash customer service. I brought my MacBook here a while ago to get my screen replaced and they gave me back a squeaky MacBook that squeaks every time I open it and move it and I mean, EVERY. TIME I move it. He wouldn't respond to my message asking for a partial refund or a replacement of the screen to fix the squeakiness. And when I was at his shop getting my Mac replaced I came in to ask how much longer it was going to take and he told me, the customer to go in the back and ask his tech instead of him getting up from watching his Netflix show to ask his tech. His wife was there she's really sweet and went to ask him herself. I paid almost $500 for a squeaky screen. Don't come to him there are better guys out there to fix your screens read more

My MacBook Pro died out 4 years ago. I thought I would never get my photos or anything back from it. I took it here and they were able to replace my 2011 board with a 2012 and it is back from the dead. I was finally able to complete my daughters baby book thanks to these guys and the price was sooo worth it. Thanks again!!!! read more

We had a flakey issue with a recent generation MacBook Pro,(but not under warranty) with the keyboard going out. James assessed it and as a complex HW and SW seeming to impact FW (SMC resetting didn't fix), they were able to get it fixed ! and at a reasonable expense w/o junking a great computer because the keyboard-trackpad was randomly going out. Since getting the mac back it's been running great for two weeks where the problem surfaced in 2 days of use. Bottom line I would go back to them for any mac issue. Delighted and Happy Customer. read more

Best Mac repair shop that I went to in the bay area. Very friendly, family owned, and great prices. Everytime I went to the apple store, MacBlowouts' quote was on average 1/3-1/2 of the price. Additonally, their turnover time is quite quick as well so I did not have to wait long. All in all, the shop is extremely reliable and a pleasure to work with! read more

Found this place via Ebay. The direct price is cheaper. I contacted the store for some info and got a quick response. The item was shipped and we received it two days later without express shipping. Very happy with this place. read more

Awesome and fast service . They matched the best rate and fixed my iPhone pro cracked glasses . They are very profession and friendly . I highly recommen. read more

I have bought my daughters Laptop and Ipod there and they are great!!!

I have had 4 occasions to visit this place & have grown to really rely on Peter and the whole team for our computer repair & purchasing needs. As a mom with 2 kids in college, price is a huge deal with me & I have purchased 3 computers - and had one serviced recently. The guys are always super professional, reasonably priced, and very fair and reliable. Thanks to all of you! read more

Really wonderful store, super friendly staff, they gave me a great deal on a new Macbook Air case and it looks amazing. Looking forward to going here again!! read more

Honest, knowledgeable and trustworthy. They extended the life of my 2 year old iPad Pro by about a month but eventually it failed. Good faith effort to repair a highly flawed device which Apple told me simply had to be replaced. Some years ago I used a few of their refurbished/used equipment and all functioned well. A gem of a service in Silicon Valley. read more

Very affordable deals for their laptop. Bought a 2015 Air from them and very satisfied with it. Ed, the owner is a solid and helpful guy. read more

What a wonderful small company. Ed helped me promptly and was very courteous. He even matched the pricing that I had found, for the same item, on E-Bay!!!! Terrific Customer Service!!! I will definately be a return customer for all of my Apple needs. Thank you so much Ed! read more

I went to this place twice. My old Macbook Pro circa 2013 decided to act up (this is a non-technical term for encountering a black band across the screen when I restart the thing). Now I like this laptop even though it weighs a ton compared to the newer models that Apple keeps coming out with these days. So I brought it to the Genius bar to have it looked at. Unfortunately, the fee for the repair is half the price of a newer model Apple laptop. The Genius person told me it would make more sense to invest in a new one than have this old, clunky thing repaired. Did I mention I love this laptop? Of course, he didn't know that but that doesn't stop me from feeling like I want to pummel him with my old, un-Apple Cared Macbook. Anyway, I don't have the money to shell out that much moolah for a newer one. So I went to Yelp and found this place with good ratings and reviews. I called first and was informed that I don't need to have an appointment scheduled, I could just walk in and bring my problem Macbook with me. That's great! The guy I talked to was friendly and personable. He took an initial look at my laptop and quoted me a much more reasonable price than the Genius Bar. So I left my laptop in their care and they gave me a call promptly when it was ready to be picked up. They also gave me a month's guarantee on the repair they did. Sweet! The next time I went to this place was for the repair of my iPhone 6 Plus screen. But when they looked at it, it turned out the only thing that was cracked was the protective screen. I was quite relieved. I didn't know about the protective screen and had I gone to a not so reputable place, I would have probably been duped to replacing my whole 'undamaged' screen for a good fee. Kudos to this place and its staff for doing honest work, being friendly and efficient and all around professional. I would go to them again if I encounter problems with my other Apple products. *knocks on wood* read more

This review is for the ups access point part. I can't wait to try it them when my Apple products are in need. It was a very pleasant experience to pick up my package from MacBlowouts. Fast effective reliable and I even got help to put it in my car. And I am so grateful I found them for the Mac products. Thank you very much! read more

A big shoutout to Chris at Macblowouts who was kind enough to help me with my PC issue, even though they mainly focus on Apple products. Thank you for helping me change the battery at such short notice. You saved the day! read more

Great service and they do a fast job. I've been coming here for years and have always had my problems fixed.

Got my MacBook screen replaced here the other day was super affordable and quick same day fix. Staff was super nice and friendly definitely recommend! read more

I visited MacBlowouts because my MacBook Pro from 2011 gets slower and slower as it takes on recent updates and the newest operating system(s) from Apple. They were able to update the memory, replace the ailing mouse track pad and the old style mechanical hard drive (now digital), all for a reasonable price, as well as trying to accommodate my schedule (I am completing an online marriage family studies degree program, while teaching piano, pre-school and before and after school enrichment programs for elementary and middle schoolers). I trust everyone at MacBlowouts, I feel as thou I am a loved extended family member. Thank you MacBlowouts for supporting me on my path; I now a new machine for a fraction of the price.

MacBlowouts - Mobile Phones Near Me - San Jose, California

I live in SF so I placed an order online with this outfit for a brand new genuine Apple Macbook Pro battery thinking (1) I want to support a local company, which may reciprocate by giving me a prompt and courteous service (the despicable CA sales tax be damned) and (2) I'll get my purchase fast since I need it fast. I was naive on both counts. A week goes by after my order - not a peep from MacBlowouts, not even an email with order confirmation. Albeit, the charge to my PayPal did post like clockwork. A week later I end up calling to be told that my order was received, but the company thought there was an issue with my PayPal account so they just "parked" my order. After looking into it further it turns out there was no PayPal issue (particularly since the full amount was deducted from my PayPal right away) and from all appearances - these numbnuts just sat on my order for no apparent reason. So I shake the order loose and go back to waiting. A couple of days later, a package shows up. It contains a battery draped in bubble-wrap with scuff marks all over and one that's been charged and re-charged 56 times, according to the built-in chip. I call to complain and pressure the company into sending me a replacement, which it does. Another week goes by and a replacement battery shows up. Same sh!t - fewer scuff marks, and lower charge cycle, but nonetheless used, not brand new (which is what I paid for). What have I learned? This outfit appears to be a junk yard. These entrepreneurs will peddle second-hand, refurbished, returned, re-certified and in other ways inferior parts as new genuine, hoping their customers are too busy or too stupid to know the difference. I mourn every minute I had to spend interacting with their CS and to write this review. What a waste of my time!!! Unscrupulous a$$holes. I want 1.5 hours of my life back!!! read more

I seldom take the time to leave a review unless it's for a really good burger. So for me to make an effort to capture my experience speaks well for this business. I am a 14 your Apple veteran and very knowledgeable about the product lines. I found a phenomenal deal and extremely cooperative, friendly, and helpful staff. Both in person than over email. I can't recommend them enough. I am in the processof setting up the two Max I purchased from them for my children's use and so far I have not had a single issue. I will chime back in after 30 days if anything goes south but I am optimistic and impressed with their pricing and their assistance so far. Now if they could just work on their burger! read more

I work really close to their office and have been in the store quite a bit. Everyone there is always very helpful. I have been looking into getting a new MacBook Pro to replace my existing one. They were very quick to get me a replacement and use my current MacBook Pro as a trade which helped out tremendously. My experience with them was very low stress. Great Job Guys! read more

The best deals in town and much love from all the employees. I come here all the time for repairs and accessories and Ed always helps me out and gives me the best deals. Really cool store and a good atmosphere. Thanks macblowouts read more

On April 27, 2017 I ordered a MacBook Pro MD322LL/A 15.4 Inch Laptop (Late 2011) and this is the description they had on Amazon. Well a few months ago I had to have a new hard drive installed and I was looking the model number up on the Apple website and find out by looking up the serial number that this laptop is a different model number from what they said and is 2 years older (MB985LL/A Mid 2009).I think this is false advertising and I don't appreciate it. If I would have found out sooner I would have asked for a full refund. read more

After using nothing but PC's and Windows all my life, I was ready to give Apple a try (on a budget). I had no intention of buying anything brand-new. I did my homework and instead of buying something off eBay or questionable on Craigslist, I came upon Macblowouts.com. Found out they also had a local storefront, so I dropped by. Walked out with a killer deal on a refurbed Macbook Pro that was already WELL upgraded. 60-day warranty. Ed also said he would only charge me a reasonable restocking fee and I could totally return my purchase within the warranty period, if for any reason I didn't like it. Peace of mind alone makes the price worth it. I'll primarily be using this MBP for DJ'ing software and Adobe Lightroom work. So far I'm enjoying my first Mac AND it was a great bargain! Thanks guys! Highly recommended. read more

These guys were awesome! My iPhone 6 got dropped in water, it shut down, and I thought it was beyond repair. I took it over to Mac Blowouts and for me I was excited to try out this neighborhood shop. They fixed my phone in an hour and I was good to go. If you haven't been there try them out great quality, good pricing, and fast service. read more

Wow!! MacBlowouts does it again. Best customer service, always ready to answer questions, and always ready to deliver reliable product. I'll keep coming back for sure!! read more

I purchased a MacBook (original white) and iPad 3 retina from MacBlowouts last week for college and work use. Ed and Stephanie made this one of my best purchasing experiences ever; between their knowledgeable product recommendations, friendly service, great prices and a touch of 'lagniappe,' I left their shop totally satisfied. The MacBook included MS Office and the memory was maxed out at 4GB -- all for the ridiculously low price of $349. At $250, the 32MB iPad 3 was a steal. Plus both included a 60 day warranty. Try to get that from your typical Craigslist iSeller. If you're looking for Mac products, check-out MacBlowouts -- you won't be disappointed with their great deals and outstanding service. read more
