Mac Tune Ups

It’s like a pit stop for your Mac.

Only Simply.ca offers a yearly Mac Tune-up: a, comprehensive, free check-up and optimization for any Mac under warranty – even if you didn’t buy it from us.

Turbo charge your Mac

Even a perfectly-functioning Mac can be even better. We’ll show you the options to speed up your Mac and get more storage – and anything else you might need.

We’ll coach you on the road ahead

We can ensure your Operating System is up to date and show you how to keep your data safe with a backup strategy.

Drive away with confidence

Because we thoroughly test the internal hardware of your Mac, you can be assured it’s in good working order. If we spot a problem we’ll let you know right away – and since you’re under warranty, we’ll fix it at no extra cost.

All the Details

Your Mac will be cared for by our Apple-certified Mac Technicians in our award-winning service department. Here’s what we do in our Tune-Up:

• Check your Mac’s vital statistics

  We’ll check how full your hard drive is and how much memory is installed, what operating system you’re running and your warranty expiry date. We’ll also ask you how your Mac is performing.

• Run Apple Service Diagnostics

  The Apple Service Diagnostics are a suite of the most stringent hardware tests available for the Mac. These diagnostic tools are provided directly by Apple and only to Apple Authorized Service Providers like Simply.ca.

• Run the hard drive SMART test

  This test checks the internal error-reporting mechanism of the hard drive itself. SMART can catch problems with your drive before they happen.

• Repair file permissions

  Every file on a Mac knows which users and programs are allowed to access it. These permissions sometimes get skewed, which can cause subtle glitches or reduce system performance. We check for permissions issues and fix them if we find them.

• Upgrades under the hood

  Some extra RAM or a larger hard drive might just be the ticket to a speedier Mac. We’ll let you know what hardware upgrades might help you get more out of your Mac.

• Coach you on your data backup strategy

  Hard drives (even the new Flash memory ones) fail every day – even in Macs. We want to make sure you always have an extra copy of your files (usually on an external hard drive) so you never have to go through the pain of data loss.
