Due to our hugely successful iPod and iPhone repair programs, MacMedics is please to announce that we are now offering Apple iPad Repairs as well.

iPad Glass repairs are $199. If you’re a Facebook fan you can take $10 off.

Questions? Give us a call at 1-866-MAC-MEDICS or stop by our Millersville, Maryland office to drop off your broken Macintosh, iPhone, iPod, or iPad. We’re the only company in Maryland that fixes all Apple devices.

Reminder: MacMedics is an Apple Authorized Service Provider, and we can service your Macintosh computer that is under Apple’s Limited Warranty or AppleCare. iPhones, iPods, and iPads that are under warranty need to be serviced at the Apple Store or mailed back to Apple.

You can drop your iPhone 3G or 3G S off by 10:00 AM and we’ll most likely be able to have it ready for pick up by 4:00 PM. We also offer flat-rate $10 FedEx Ground shipping if you’d like to have your iPhone shipped back to you. We can also ship via FedEx Express via the service of your choice. We are also happy to ship your device back to you on your FedEx or UPS account.

iPhone repairs are super popular and tons of sellers of Do-It-Yourself iPhone parts, tools, supplies, and videos have come out of the woodwork.

There are three huge things to consider:

1. Is the part you are buying the correct part for your unit AND is it a “real” part? Many sellers from eBay and Craigslist are selling “High Copy” parts, which are usually far inferior in quality.

3. If you “do it yourself” you’re undertaking the risk of damaging or destroying your iPhone. The people that make the videos are usually the same people selling the iPhone service parts, and they make it look super easy in the video. Why? They want you to think it IS easy so you buy the part from them. Also don’t forget that internal parts of an iPhone are very delicate and sensitive to static. We know this and take every precaution in our Apple inspected Mac Lab.

We’ve blogged about iPhone repairs many times before. So you can read our past posts here.

One of our clients, Ric Phillips just posted the following on our Facebook Wall:

“MacMedics is the type of company every business should want to be like. Customer service is outstanding. Technical knowledge is over the top. Repairs and upgrades, in most cases, accomplished in 24 hours. And, let’s not forget the discount prices they offer their customers. Who wouldn’t want their Apple products in the gentle hands of MacMedics?

Hands down, MacMedics ROCKS over all other independent computer businesses.”

Thanks Ric! If you missed our post from a few days ago with some anonymous comments from AppleCare/MacMedics clients, you can catch that here. Also, be sure to catch our MacMedics Blog post that has had some comments along these same lines from one of our satisfied clients at Johns Hopkins.

Some of the other Internet based firms that offer iPhone service and repair are now making a big deal out of how they now accept walk-in repairs, and that they also same day iPhone service. MacMedics has always offered same day iPhone and iPod service. Drop your sick iPhone or iPod off in the morning, and we’ll have it done by the end of the day (in almost every case).

Even if you send us your iPhone or iPod, we normally have it fixed and back on the FedEx truck the same day it arrives. If you need us to send you a pre-paid FedEx label, just e-mail us your name, address, and phone number, and we’ll e-mail you back a PDF of a label. We just add $10 onto your repair for this service.

Do you have a 3G iPhone and you’re in an extreme hurry? Well, MacMedics does offer the iPhone 3G “Apple” broken glass or LCD repair solution. We can replace the entire top half of your iPhone 3G while-you-wait in about 5 minutes. Same price as Apple, $199. If you become a MacMedics “fan” on Facebook, and we’ll knock $10 of any iPhone or iPod repair!

I recently updated my Blog post warning against Do-It-Yourself iPhone repairs. I’ve copied-n-pasted a teaser below for your reading enjoyment. If you care to read the updated post, you can find it here!

We are seeing more and more iPhones that have been damaged during do-it-yourself repairs. Folks, the videos you see on-line make it look very easy. There’s a reason for that, the companies that make these step-by-step videos on iPhone and iPod disassembly and repair are the same people that are selling all of the parts, tools, and supplies you need to perform the repairs. They want it to look as easy as possible and they often edit the video in their favor making it look like it’s easier then it really is and that it takes less time then it will take you. I can guarantee you that guy/gal in the video is NOT performing the repair you are watching for the FIRST time.

This blog post is a bit of rant, so if you’re already on the same page as me, and you think paying $20 to $30 plus parts cost, and getting FREE return shipping via FedEx to have my guys fix your iPhone right the first time, and you want to avoid the risk of trying it yourself then, just use this form. If you need us to e-mail you a pre-paid FedEx Express label we can do that too, and we’ll just add $10 onto your total repair. Questions? Just call us 1-866-MAC-MEDICS or Email us. 99% of the iPhones that reach us are fixed the same day the arrive, and we pack them back up and ship them back for next day FedEx delivery. If you’re local to the Baltimore-Washington DC area, then just drop your iPhone off in the morning, and we’ll have it done by the end of the day!

If you need more convincing, then keep reading. I love to talk shop!
