Your Mac is a Powerhouse of Creativity and Productivity. Until It’s Not.
That spinning beachball of doom, a cracked Retina display, or a MacBook that refuses to charge—when your Apple device fails, your workflow grinds to a halt. Macs are finely tuned machines, and you know that a trip to the Genius Bar can often mean long waits and a hefty price tag, especially for older models they no longer fully support. You need a local, trusted expert who understands the intricacies of Apple hardware and can provide a fast, cost-effective solution.
Our Expert Solution: The Local Alternative for Mac Repair
PC Repair Center is your premier destination for out-of-warranty Apple Mac repair in North County. Our technicians at both the Oceanside and Encinitas locations are highly experienced in diagnosing and repairing the full range of Apple desktop and laptop computers. We offer the same high level of technical expertise you’d expect from Apple, but with the speed, flexibility, and personalized service of a local shop. Every Mac repair begins with our 100% free, no-obligation diagnostic.
A Deep Dive into Mac Repair Services
Apple’s integrated designs require specialized tools and knowledge. Our workshops are fully equipped to handle the unique challenges of Mac repair.
- MacBook Screen & Display Assembly Replacement: We can replace the cracked screen on your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. For many models, we can source just the LCD panel, offering a more affordable repair than replacing the entire top assembly.
- MacBook Battery Service: Is your MacBook’s battery life dwindling or showing a “Service Recommended” warning? We can replace the battery, restoring its portability and performance.
- Logic Board Repair: Many shops will only replace a faulty logic board, which is extremely expensive. We specialize in component-level repair, fixing the actual faulty chip or circuit on the board itself, saving you hundreds of dollars. This is especially crucial for liquid damage repair.
- Storage Upgrades & Data Recovery: Running out of space on your iMac or MacBook? We can upgrade many models to a larger, faster SSD. If your Mac won’t boot, we offer data recovery services to retrieve your priceless files.
- iMac Repairs: From failing power supplies and display issues on an iMac to hardware upgrades, we have the expertise to get your all-in-one desktop back to peak condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it cheaper to repair my Mac with you than at the Apple Store?
For many common out-of-warranty repairs, yes. Our advantage is particularly strong in two areas: logic board repair (where we repair the board instead of replacing it) and repairs on “vintage” models that Apple may no longer service. Our free diagnostic will give you a clear price comparison.
Can you get my data off a Mac that won’t start up?
In most cases, yes. If the internal drive is still functional, we can often extract the data even if the Mac itself won’t boot. For failing drives, we offer advanced data recovery services. We always recommend having a Time Machine backup, but we’re here to help when that’s not an option.
Get Your Mac Back to Its Best
Don’t let a hardware or software issue sideline your Apple device. Trust the local experts for a fast, reliable, and affordable repair.
