About Us

The Mac Garage is a neighborhood, boutique computer shop providing certified Apple repair, exclusive accessories, and training & consulting. Located in the heart of the Tennyson shopping district, The Mac Garage provides convenient, local, and professional support for all of your Mac and iPhone needs.

The idea behind The Mac Garage goes back to the days when you knew your mechanic by their first name. You didn’t feel rushed or ripped off, and you certainly didn’t feel like just a number walking through the door. Personal service was key, and you were always greeted with a smile and a handshake. Those days are back. Using a healthy mix of honesty, tenacity, and elbow grease, we provide you with solutions and not just band-aids.  Around here, when things break, we fix them.

I started life in IT as a Unix admin in a university computer lab 14 years ago.  Having spent the last 10 years in Higher-Ed and K12,  I look forward to leveraging my extensive experience  to provide you solutions to your technology challenges.  Come in, and pull up a stool.  Let’s talk about how to make your investment in technology work for you.  Let’s talk about how to make that investment last longer.

We can do everything from replacing a key on your Macbook, to consulting your organization on the best way to implement and manage hundreds of Apple products on your campus.  Stop by the shop, and see what we can do for you.
