| - My daughter dumped a glass of water on my Macbook Pro while it was on. It immediately turned off and would not turn back on. Apple said it would be a minimum of $750, but probably closer to $900. A local Mac repair shop said they could do it for no more than $500. I decided to take it to uBreakiFix just to see if they could diagnose it for free before shelling out a few hundred bucks.
I dopped it off and got a call 30 minutes later that they got it to turn on, and it was working perfectly. They worked on it for another hour or two, cleaning and repairing some of the parts that got wet. They charged me $50!
The only issue I did have is that when I got the computer home, I realized the bottom of the computer was not put back on correctly. When they reassembled they put a clamp in the wrong place inside, and used the wrong screws in two spots. I was able to easily fix it myself, but it would have been nice if, as a repair shop, they paid a little closer attention to detail.
All in all, I couldn't be happier that they got the computer up and running, and that they opened it up and tried to fix it BEFORE giving me a price and diagnosing the problem, something the Apple store and other Mac repair shops did not even do.
