My iPhone suddenly crashed and I took it to Verizon who referred me to computer hardware. They were able to restore my phone and for very inexpensive! They were knowledgeable, kind and patient! Will definitely bring my products back here!
My Apple phone was having battery issues and I was having a very bad day trying to deal with the Verizon office here in town. My neighbors told me they had always had good luck with Computer Hardware. I gave CH a call then dropped off my phone to have the battery replaced. Two hours later I was able to pick upmy phone with its new battery and also a new screen saver. The fellow I worked with wasknowledgeable, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. I will take my Apple products to Computer Hardware from now on! BONUS: When you call their store they actually answer the phone as compared to Verizon and Best Buy where they make you talk to a nationwide call center.
My grandfather went into the store to get a specific type of cable not knowing much about computers or phones. They basically took advantage of him and had him by two cables he did not need for $85. Shortly after he was hospitalized and couldnt make their 14-day return policy. I tried to go in and return the cables and explain to them and they didnt care about any circumstances. They were happy to keep his $85 without any offer of exchange or anything so now hes got two cables and now $85 on a fixed income they couldnt use those two cables for anything he has
I had the battery in my Apple phone replaced. After I picked it up I discovered the screen was locked up. When I returned it, they told me it was working when I left, implying I did something to cause it to quit working. When they opened it up again they discovered a wire had come loose which froze the screen. It became clear,it could not have been working when I picked it up, because of the loose wire. The manager would not admit that they didn’t fully test it before returning it to me. I told them I would not do any business with them in the future.
The team at Computer Hardware went MILES above and beyond! They were friendly, professional, efficient, and so, so helpful! Highly recommend these guys for any/all of your IT related needs!
We have used Computer Hardware for years now. The customer service has always been 5 stars. Most of the machines we drop off are no hurry, but if we have a critical machine they will make it a priority and really keep us going. Alex and Jerry have been amazing to us and we will happily continue to keep coming back. 5-star customer service every time!!!
After Apple Support sent me on a wild goose chase across Lincoln, these guys are the ones that rescued my iPhone from the brink of death, and I’m so grateful! Amazing customer service - kind, patient, and helpful.
Quick, responsive service on my Macbook. Thorough explanation of computer issue, repair resolution, and billing! Thank you. Kudos for quality customer service!
Brought in my laptop after experiences some power issues. Tanner was the tech to help me out. It could not have been a more smooth experience. I was in and out in 10-15 minutes. Tanner did an excellent job, answered all my questions and is very nice! Will definitely go back.
The staff at Computer Hardware are always so willing to help!! Excellent customer service! My parents are in assisted living and they have helped me several times during the pandemic with my parents devices! I would highly recommend this company for all your Apple needs!
Always friendly, speedy, and oh so helpful! First and only choice for all my computer problems. Prime example being one of my visits, where not only did they help explain what was going on in simple terms, but Ryan even followed up with me afterwards notifying me that I might be eligible for Apples recall. It ended up with Apple reimbursing me for the entire cost of the repair!
Jeremiah guided me through the process of picking out the proper watch and headphones to fit my needs. Competitive pricing and great customer service. Highly recommend
The repair on my MacBook Pro was done well and I was able to simply use my AppleCare. They ended up replacing the full display, keyboard, and battery - all covered under AppleCare. Great!However, my computer was company-owned and they seemed to have a hard time navigating how to turn off the Find My Mac feature prior to repair due to the fact that the computer is part of a business account. They repeatedly had me ask my IT team how to circumvent it. The repair technician was unable to follow the suggestions provided by the IT team, so they told me I could contact Apple directly to ask.While I did find a solution with a single phone call to Apple, it was disappointing that the repair shop I patronized was unable to do that on their own. Even if they didn’t know how to circumvent that feature, I expected that they’d communicate with Apple for guidance instead of making me do it.After a week being stuck in one place, the repair itself only took a few business days, so that was really great.In the future, I might just make the drive to Apple instead for a higher probability that I can just drop off the equipment without worry that I’ll have to do research and outreach on my own.
Very clean and well kept store! The workers are always welcoming and really help walk you through the situation. By far favorite store
Always friendly atmosphere when you enter their store. You can definitely tell that the people that work there love what they do! Tech support is top notch!
These fellas are pros! They listened to my concerns and helped me quickly resolve the issues I had with my phone. Definitely will be returning and highly recommend!! Give them a try and you won’t be disappointed!
Best staff! I have gone in multiple times for various Apple needs and have received great expertise and help. Would recommend for any Apple issue!
The staff at Computer Hardware did a great job getting my Apple Watch sent in a replaced after it was broken. Josh was super helpful.Thanks for making the process easy!!
Tripp and Alex were highly knowledgeable and extremely personable. They not only fixed my computer quickly, they also gave me great tips and advice for how to use my device more efficiently!
I order MacBooks through Computer Hardware for the company I work for, Firespring. They are always super helpful and easy to get things ordered.Josh is a great worker and always wants to lend a helping hand.Thank you guys for being an awesome business!
Amazing crew at Computer Hardware. These guys know their stuff and get the job done right, every time. Would recommend to anyone in need of assistance with their Apple products.
The go to place for new Apple products or any Apple product repair! The team here is very knowledgeable, honest and friendly. There’s no one else I’d trust with my Apple products than Computer Hardware!
My go-to shop for anything computer related. My last visit was basically a walk-in consultation on operating systems for my Mac. I was given a couple options...they will do this/that or I could do this/that. I decided I could do it. How much for the time? Nothing...just come back when you need help.As a long-time local business owner I know you can hang any old mission statement on the wall about customer service but when the rubber meets the road do you deliver. This place does.
I trust Computer Hardware with all of my MAC products. They are extremely knowledgeable, efficient and honest. I have replaced an iPhone battery and a Mac laptop keyboard
These fellas can do it all. Shoe and Beller can make your wildest dreams come true. 10/10 highly recommend.
It’s a great place, all of the employees are super nice and patient, I brought an Apple Watch here recently and I love as much as Kanye loves Kanye, if the Pope ever hits my line and asks me where he can buy high quality apple products I would definitely recommend this place, 10/10 would come back again
This is the place to go for expert help. They take the time to answer questions and they are very patient. I will return with confidence that my problems will be solved.
Tanner Chambers was very helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks for the help!
I can say every time I go there I have been treaded with respect by everyone who has helped me. I have purchased my last Mac Pro 15 inch 2015 used. And I’m so grateful I did they helped me with in my budget and with helping me set up my computer. There Custermer Servise is a five star ⭐️ rating every time, Alex their service manager is one of the very best people to work on your computer in Nebraska, Tripp is a very nice young man who helps you understand the in and outs of the computer, iPad, and your phone and that’s how I started with Computer Hardware. Each time I come in I learn something new about one of my devices thanks to all the amazing young people who work there. It’s the best and only authorized Apple Store in Lincoln Nebraska.let them no The Smile guy sent you so you get a free smile .
Had a pair of air buds that wasn’t working properly; but thankfully had AppleCare + on them! Computer hardware took them and replaced both of them with no charge to me! Excellent and friendly service!
Great service, clean environment, and great supply of products on hand. A business that knows how to appreciate their customers.
They call themselves experts and they live up to it. They repaired myMacBook in a timely manner and it has worked better than ever since. Their customer service is excellent as well. They made time for me, no appointment needed!
This is the best place to receive Apple service! Hands Down! They are very friendly and knowledgeable!
Ryan did a great job when my computer broke down while I was in law school. He got the problem fixed quickly and was very friendly. Would highly recommend!
Computer Hardware Lincoln is the best! I like to think Im pretty capable with technology, but it was looking like I needed to purchase a new adapter that would be compatible with my MacBook Air and external monitors. Nope—just needed to push Command-F1. Fixed in 3 seconds, thanks to Josh!
Ryan was extremely helpful when I visited! A great personality with knowlege of the product!
Very knowledgeable and friendly! Listened to what was going on with my iPhone and iPad! Helped quite a bit! Thank you!!!!
I have called Ryan at Computer Hardware several times for questions about my Mac and other Apple products and each time he has given me his full attention and answered everything I needed to know. Can’t beat the customer service here.
Amazing crew. Amazing work. Love this place!
My 17 year old daughter broke the screen on her iphone 11, since she would be paying to have it repaired, and has a limited monthly income from her part time job, I wanted to make sure we took it somewhere she would get it fixed properly and for a fair price. After reading other reviews and since my husband had shopped here previously and had a great experience, we decided to go with them. Dropped it off in the morning and had it back in a couple hours looking brand new again! Highly recommend!
Bought my brand new 27” imac 🖥 and an extra 2TB external HD today and i couldn’t be happier right now!! thanks for everything!! :)
Ryan went out of his way to repair my computer. The best!
Great customer service! Thanks for all the help!
Great experience patronizing the Computer Hardware store. Exceptional service from helpful and knowledgeable employees!
Cant thank these guys enough! They really went above and beyond in every aspect of service. I am happy to have a working phone once again and they will be my first call for any Apple product repairs I may ever need. Honest, fast, and friendly!
Excellent service and a friendly staff! Will be buying my next computer from them.
What an amazing experience. It was great to meet a group of people who have a passion for what they do.I wanted to change out the hard drive in my iMac for an SSD. The process of doing so was so simple. Jeremiah, and Josh, made the process stress free - I doped off the iMac, and soon received a call telling me to come and get it - and I did not miss a beat. If you live in Lincoln, or the surrounding area, and have, or are looking to get, an Apple product - these are the people to visit.The “other store” in Lincoln selling Apple products, wanted two weeks to change out the drive - because they can not do it themselves and they have to send it to Apple - Not the case with Computer Hardware. They did it all on site, that’s the best part of them being a “Apple Premier Partner.”
Brought in AirPod pros with ripping ear tips, and they replaced the ear tips for free! now the AirPod pros are basically brand new again. Super awesome!!!
My iPhone didn’t take a charge last night. While troubleshooting the problem I noticed that the lightning cable was working in only one position, meaning that when the cable was removed, flipped over and re-inserted, it wouldn’t charge the phone. I did some online research and learned that debris in the charging port can prevent the cable from working properly. I stopped by Computer Hardware just now. Upon examining my phone, the technician determined that there was debris in the port, so he cleaned it out. He then verified that the cable now worked properly. When I asked him what I owed, he kindly said, “No charge.“ I will be bringing all of my Apple devices to Computer Hardware for service in the future. Highly recommended!
Best business in Lincoln! Tech savvy, highly knowledgeable, but able to convey knowledge in terms anyone can understand. They instill confidence with fast and competent service that proves correct days and weeks after leaving the store. My valuable time is saved by stopping here and getting the best Apple service we have experienced anywhere. Judging from the other customers in the store, they can communicate with any age group.
Best customer service in Lincoln NE. When you walk into the store someone is there in a minute or less to say good morning or afternoon that is how I meet Mr Tripp as they call him. I was having a hard time with my phone and know one was able to talk to me in my language. I have a few leaning disability’s and this guy stoped what he was doing & he appeared busy and talked to me. I was impressed really I was at AT&T where I got the phone they gave me weird looks each time I came in. Best Buy just wanted to sell me a plan Mr. Tripp listen and taught me how to use my phone and what to do if it happens again . Then a few months later I bought a iPad I went to him and they taught me how to set it up. I just want you to know every one of these people are like family to me. They are amazing to me and I give every one of them five ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I now have more apple 🍎 products and use them all because Jeremiah Tripp took care of me and treated me with respect, dignity, and listened to me and helped me understand what he was saying so I could take notes. He never said I have to hurry up. He was awesome best customer service I’ve ever seen in my life and I’ve been given awards for it before. This team is the best in the country # 1.I would recommend computer hardware to do business with any company and with a business that believes in letting there people ask questions so they no how to use there equipment correctly. Then this company is the best one. Ask for Mr Tripp and tell him David Staenberg sent you he will know me I’m the one who takes notes and ask questions 😎😎😎
Would definitely recommend going here, amazing staff!
I found myself here looking for a new Mac computer. I feel as though the prices were fair and I was greeted in a proper manner. To be honest I was looking to spend way less than I want of spending, but I can’t complain because my kids I found myself here looking for a new Mac computer. I have a list of the prices were fair and I was greeted in a proper manner. To be honest I was looking to spend way less then I wind up spending, but I can’t complain because my kids love the new computer. I can say that I will be back again next time, but I will be looking to get a better deal hopefully.
I went in to Computer Hardware after cracking my iPhone and I was very frantic and they were so patient and understanding when I explained I could not be without a phone. They took a lot of time helping me and after getting everything they needed and by-passing barriers with Apple, these guys fixed my screen in 2 hours maybe even less and did a fantastic job for a very great price. I was very impressed with the service and so thankful for their honesty! If you ever need to go anywhere for apple products go here, they are professionals and also Apple certified! Amazing thank you to Alex who assisted me with setting everything up and explaining everything!
Knowledgeable, no hidden fees, clean premises and great customer service.
After dropping my iPhone 8 I was quickly reminded about the ability for Computer Hardware to replace my screen. They did so in a very fair and timely fashion. This allowed me to get back to my job quicker and utilize the email on my phone. Will be a repeat customer and recommend others do as well.
My spacebar broke on my computer and the wonderful team at Computer Hardware had it taken in and fixed within the week! They also found some Apple Quality programs that they were able to fix it under so it didnt cost me a dime. Ive never felt so taken care of by a company and they were able to put my mind at ease. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area, I live in Omaha and it was 100% worth the drive.
My Macabook Pro was running extremely slow and I wasn’t able to get my microphone to work after talking to Apple support on the phone for nearly two hours. They fixed the issue with my microphone and gave me the option to replace my hard drive to speed my computer up. Although it was a costly option, it was what my computer needed if I didn’t want to be painfully slow anymore. They were really informative about my price options while not being pushy at all if I didn’t want to go through with the replacement. I’m happy to say my MacBook runs lightning fast now. So happy with the customer service here!
I had my iPhone battery replaced and I found the staff to be extremely helpful and courteous. They answered all of my questions and the process only took about two and a half hours, which is more than reasonable. I will definitely be going back to them in the future when Im looking to purchase an Apple product or if I have any problems with any of my devices.
I am BEYOND grateful for Jeremiah Tripp and his willingness to solve my iPhone problem!! For Christmas, I received the new iPhone 11 Pro that unfortunately locked up when trying to transfer data. For fear of sending off my new iPhone to Apple with personal information, Jeremiah was able to unlock the iPhone and wipe it clean to factory settings so that I was able to upgrade to the larger iPhone 11 Pro with Verizon. Jeremiah, in his red shirt, was literally Santa and truly made my day!! If you are in need of tech support, especially with an Apple product, I HIGHLY recommend Jeremiah and the staff at Computer Hardware to solve your problems!! They are caring and patient, especially with non-techies like myself! Thank you again!!
Very good at helping seniors find the right Apple solution for their needs. While their products may not be the least expensive, Apple has a great reputation for having the shortest learning-curve, which is important here. It made the transition into the digital world (for the first time for my 90-year-old aunt) far less intimidating. Rob Cook was extremely helpful and encouraging. And, they offer additional help if needed. Thanks, guys !
I think Joe is an amazing person
My husband and I had a long list of questions about laptops, phones, and general iCloud stuff when we arrived. Michael assisted us and we couldnt have been more pleased. He is a wonderful teacher - funny and patient. We left feeling confident, informed, and relieved we wouldnt lose any of our precious photos. Thanks, Michael!
I am very impressed by the service I received. I went in with a cracked screen, they quickly processed my request, and then continued to answer all of my annoying questions. They were polite and patient with me. In less than 24 hours, I get a phone call asking me permission to go ahead and order a new screen with a complete explanation of how much it will cost. After I gave the go ahead, it took less than 24 hours to get my computer back, fixed like new. The best part, is the $ I spent on diagnosing the problem went towards the total! What a great business model! Thank you for all of the help Computer Hardware. I will definitely visit again.
The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful
Staff here is really friendly and can help you with all types of apple product issues. Got my computer fixed here a month ago and it still works great. They were super accommodating and speedy. Would recommend. They also tend to have a better selection of accessories for apple products than other chain stores do.
I highly recommend Computer Hardware for all your Apple needs! Its so nice to have the equivalent of an Apple Store in Lincoln so you dont have to travel ALL the way to Omaha if something comes up. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and will take care of you! Great customer service.
Incredibly friendly and helpful staff!
Excellent Customer Service - were very prompt and attentive to my broken iPhone screen. They were busy, but professional. They also turned-around my phone in less than 3 hours.I had considered taking my phone to another provider in Lincoln as the price to repair the screen was much cheaper ... but not with genuine Apple parts. Computer Hardware is the ONLY Apple Authorized Service provider in Lincoln—going elsewhere would mean I would have received substandard knock-off parts—yes cheaper, but you get what you pay for!Save yourself the hardship of having to repair your phone multiple times and get it done right at Computer Hardware!
Great store with professional people. I needed a new screen put on an iPhone under factory warranty. Stopped in and dropped off my phone and they had a new screen on in about 3 hours. Couldn’t be happier with their service. They also have a great selection of Apple products. Skip Best Buy, etc and stop this place first.
I went to Verizon with an iPhone that was under a year old and wasnt staying charged. I was told that I had two options - do a hard reset or get a refurbished phone since it was after 14 days. A friend told me to go to Computer Hardware because the 14 day warranty is a Verizon warranty, and not an Apple warranty. Computer Hardware replaced my battery and my phone is as good as new. The store employees were super helpful and friendly, and the store was spotless. Very impressed with this place!
Love this place! Came here 2 times due to my MacBook Pro having errors, and both times they were happy and ready to help. They even called apple to ask for an extended warranty, which I didn’t even ask about. They are eager to help and are welcoming as soon as you come in the door. Would recommend these people to anyone!!
Great people work here!
Incredible customer service. The staff was extremely helpful in diagnosing and ultimately fixing my Apple Watch by jumping through the necessary hoops of Apples warranty. I dont remember utilizing a manufactures warranty that wasnt like pulling teeth. This experience was completely different. Top-notch service, excellent follow-up, and super friendly guys. This was my first experience at Computer Hardware, and they didnt disappoint. Highly recommended. The place was spotless too.
This has been our go to business for all our computer needs. I stopped into for some help with a web site problem, and Michael quickly solved it. Then he helped me with an Apple Pencil and a more up to date iPad to use it on. All smiles!
I wanted to save the hundreds of photos I have of my grandchildren. Michael helped me set up and use Dropbox. Over the years, whenever I have gone in for help the employees know what I want to know and explain it clearly.
Excellent service and they were very happy to answer my question over the phone
Seriously the best store with the best service!!
Went in with 2 phones that needed to be merged. My Apple Watch needed to be set up . Didn’t get the guy name who helped me but he got it all done within 15 min. I have been trying to get this issue resolved with Apple via the phone for months. They would put me on hold and then I would be disconnected . I would recommend this store .
These guys are great!
We came in with an iPhone that would not turn on and were afraid to lose all of the photos. Tripp was able to not only turn the iPhone on, but also save everything on the phone! He was incredibly helpful, patient, and willing to work with us. We had a great experience at Computer Hardware and would recommend it to anyone.
Apple products are notoriously expensive but you pay for the design and quality, that being said I went with my brother to get his computer repaired and the tech was honest about apple stuff and it is refreshing, having dealt with many PC techs who tell you one thing and then get you on the backend.
I had an issue with the cable connected to my Hard drive causing an error message, reading reviews I found Computer Hardware and decided to drive down to see what the cost would be. The staff was extremely friendly, and very educated. I came to realize that my warranty had expired 5 days prior to coming in but they called apple and worked with them to allow my warranty to take place. Their above and beyond customer service is the reason I am writing a review (which I have never done before). All I can say is Thank you to the staff and go to them with any computer needs!
Excellent service and Josh did a great job. Less hassle than an Apple store and same products.
Great working with this repair shop. The location, turnaround time, and customer service are superior to the apple store in Omaha. Alex did a great job on my repair, notified me of additional repairs that were covered under a recall, and accommodated my timeline. Will definitely return should I need future repairs.
Our Urgent Care Clinic has been using Computer Hardware for several years now. The customer service is 10/10! Trip and his team do an awesome job. We use Mac in our clinical environment which has proven to be more stable than any window OS we have had.
These guys are hand down the best in town for Apple anything. I had a very complex problem with my iMac. I would start it up and it would flash a folder with a ! on the front of it. I tried contacting Apple themselves to see if I could get assistance over the phone. After talking for an hour, the rep ended up failing my hard drive. Me being shocked that he might have actually messed up my computer even more, he got me what was called a CS Code (A code the apple generates and their partner stores will help you out completely free) Super convenient, I didnt have to drive anywhere to an Apple store (Closest one is in Omaha) They sent me here, to Computer Hardware, and honestly, wow! The service I received from RYAN was completely 5 star. Welcomed with a smile and a What can WE do for you Ryan was able to determine the actual problem that was going on with in seconds it seemed (Mind you I was on the phone with apple for an hour and 36 minutes) Ryan not only figured it out, took my computer, found my CS Code, and said it would be done in 3 days, FOR FREE (since I had a Apple CS CODE) The NEXT DAY, I received a call from Ryan, letting me know, that MY COMPUTER WAS ALREADY DONE. I hurried there, got it, went home, and BOOM, works like it was brand new. I would recommend these guys HANDS DOWN, WITHOUT A DOUBT. Ryan was my sales guy, and Alex was my technician. Ill be going to these guys for a lifetime.
Great service, friendly courteous staff! They were able to fix a problem with my iPhone that I had been dealing with for several days in one hour!! Ethan was super patient, great young man. I highly recommend Computer Hardware!
The employees were very kind and helpful the whole time I was there! I was able to get my iPhone 6s battery in no time. Would recommend this place to anyone who is needing anything for their apple products
The staff is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. They set expectations upfront so there are no surprises. They know their products well and do their best to ensure their diagnosis of the issues are accurate and completed in the most efficient and effective manner. I would highly recommend them and will use them again in the future.
If you are a Mac user then this is the store for all your Apple needs. The customer service is top notch, diagnostic and repair service on site, excellent product availability...what more could you want. Walk in the door and you are a priority...customer service like this is rare these days.
I’ve been here a handful of times for a variety of needs, and each time their staff was helpful, friendly, and professional. They have everything I’ve ever needed for my Apple products.
Took my phone in get the battery replaced, and was very satisfied. That Cook guy, Rob I think, took my phone and replaced the battery in 30 minutes. He then told me that I dressed nice and gave me a water bottle for my drive home. I would drive hours just to have Rob replace my phone battery again. Thanks Rob!
I would highly recommend Computer Hardware for anyone with an Apple product. I went in with a broken screen on my MacBook Pro that was out of warranty and was fully expecting to pay the upwards of $750 for a new screen. The technician said he would do what he could with getting a new screen.The next day he called me back and said that he convinced Apple to cover my screen! He saved me over $700 dollars that I expected I was going to have to pay (I spoke to Apple over the phone before I went to the store and they said I would have to pay for it). I only had to pay for the service charge, which was well worth it because it was done the next day! Extremely happy with my experience at Computer Hardware and will be coming back if I need anything.
One of the finest retailers of Apple products I have ever had the pleasure to do business with. I have visit Computer Hardware several times in the past two-years. I have purchased many fine products, and have found them to be very knowledgable and empathetic to my needs.I have taken older products in to be serviced and the turn-around-time has been very fast. Less down-time, on my machines, is a great thing. You will not be disappointed by purchasing your next Apple product here.
Amazing store! They are very knowledgeable and interested in helping their customers first and foremost. Dont worry about someone trying to sell you something you dont need when you come here!
I highly recommend going here for all your Apple needs. Ryan was so helpful and positive in resolving my phone issues. He was extremely patient and worked with me until my phone was fixed. Great staff!
These people are awesome when it comes to helping customers out. I have taken hardware into the store and, at other times, simply called in with questions. In both cases, they have provided excellent service.So I am saying that both sales and service are outstanding.Thanks, Computer Hardware!
Went in twice to try and get an IPhone battery changed. Said it would take at least two hours to change a battery and they closed in an hour. I asked if there was anywhere else in Lincoln that could accommodate changing a battery and I was told “ no one else in Lincoln can change a battery out”. I googled it there is another place within blocks of this store called we fix it I phone repair. I drove down and had a new battery in my phone within 15 minutes of walking into that store. I would not go here just knowing their staff lies, who knows what else they lie about.Edit: I do want to bump up my star rating after reading the stores response. I was to rough in my judgment. Two hours is a reasonable amount of time to fix a battery especially when there are other customers who have dropped off stuff before me, I apologize for my comment on that.I do believe what got me upset was the response about being the only people able to repair a battery. Perhaps a more appropriate response to that question would be, “ We are the only Apple certified technicians but if you’re ok with going to a location that can change a battery that is not Apple certified you could find that on google.” I would have walked out happy gone and gotten it done and then next time come back to your store.
