Having your Mac Book stop working in a foreign country when it is your key to all your finances is…read morenot an enjoyable situation to be in, so I took a cab to the Mac store in a upscale mall on the Asian side of Istanbul. They had just stoped doing repairs that day(!) due to COVID, so I took the Metro to HKN Apple Servis because I thought an independent repair shop would be more likely to be open and cheaper. It is conveniently located in the shopping district in Taksim. Bilisim was very calming and professional. He understood that is hard to trust some with an object so crucial to your life. They had already fixed it by the time I got back to my hotel! I thought the work charge was too little and offered them more. They refused so I bought an unnecessarily large back up drive.
