When my 500GB hard drive crashed on my iMac, another local Apple Repair Store said there shouldn’t be a problem getting the data. After over a week without my computer and a game of phone tag, they had been unable to recover anything and referred me to a data recovery company which estimated $2500-$3500 and two weeks’ turnaround time to get my data. Instead, I took my iMac to Tam at the MacAdvantage, who recovered ALL my data the same day, at a fraction of the cost. The MacAdvantage was fast, professional, and efficient. ~ Tyler Kuhlman, TV50, Santa Rosa

Rachel is a darling too. ~ Valerie Ingram, Ingram Ranch
