You've been to the Genius Bar. You've tried other Apple Resellers. At the end of the day, your problems are still not solved. We know your frustration and we will do our best to not add to it. MadCow Studios has a personal guarantee that goes like this: If we can’t fix your problem or we don’t deliver on our promises you don’t pay. It’s that simple. We stand behind our work 100%. Macintosh computers are our passion. And part of this drive is our willingness to share our knowledge and experience with others. Whatever you plan to do with your computer...whether it's keeping track of home finances, running a business, or just for your kids...we really care that you get the most out of your computer purchase. Since 1985, we have developed our expertise with Macs. Working with fortune 500 clients, home users, entertainment studios, schools - people just like you. We have the kind of unique knowledge that only 23 years of using Macs can provide. More, now than ever, you need the experience of experts that know Macs, inside and out. From classic systems to the latest Intel Macs.
Being both "techies" and artists, we know the type of problems you might run into remember, weve been there too! Whether you're buying your first computer, seeking a solution to perform a specific task, or just need a recommendation before purchasing, we'll be happy to help. We know that when your system crashes, you can’t afford the downtime. That’s why our configurations are guaranteed. Our work takes a little longer, but when we set up your system it stays up. We isolate your problems using our experienced methodology and we fix them. We’re available 24 hours and 362 days a year (okay...okay, we WILL WORK on Christmas, New Years and Thanksgiving - but you won’t like the rate and we’ll bet it can wait a day. Also, to counter some troublemakers, if you demand immediate service and demand immediate call back - know that it is at $175 per hour and you MUST tell us at that time. Travel time is included and the clock starts when you say go.) Remote diagnostics and repairs are available to broadband Internet users.
