About Us
Who We Are
Do you want that old fashioned good service? It's just not available most places anymore. It's all 'prices slashed', 'ultra sale', 'cheap, we are closing down', etc. It all leads to casual staff who are not interested in spending any time with you, and what's more, don't know anything! Well, that's not us. You will get top service, with time and expert advice to help you decide what's right. Plus you will still get a great deal! Only when you purchase from Mac Alert! Here at Mac Alert, we don't just want to sell you a box. We are dedicated to making sure you get the most from your Mac or Apple equipment and ensure it is always in top working order.
Where We Started
Mac Alert was formed to fill a niche in the South Australian Apple market. Our services include Sales, Support, Training and Consulting. Before the G3 chip, the Mac market was in decline. With the release of the iMac and G3 workstations there was a huge resurgence in demand for Mac's. This, combined with the fact that good, or even satisfactory Macintosh service in Adelaide was rare, paved the way for Mac Alert to start trading. We have now been providing consistent, reliable support to businesses in Adelaide for over 20 years.
Our Showroom
Minimalist Apple look to match Apples fantastic designs but maximum service. We ask the right questions and give the right advice to make sure you get the right equipment, at the right price! We also provide professional but affordable training either in our large and comfortable training areas, or onsite if required. For friendly, honest advice, or to view any of the range of Macs and iPads, come down to our large showroom at 34 Dunorlan Road in Edwardstown or simply contact us via phone or email
It's All About You!
The type of service we provide is more personal than most other providers. We understand deadlines and the damage computer downtime can do to your business. We hold rental equipment and have priority service for those times when you are simply desperate. We ask the right questions and listen to the answers before we recommend a piece of equipment.
Our Goal
Mac Alert is an Apple Authorised Sales and Service Centre. On the service side we will always try to get your existing system working as efficiently and productively as possible. When it's time to invest in new equipment, you can relax in the knowledge that our prices are extremely competitive and the backup is there if needed. We always consider very carefully which equipment to recommend for each situation. We also consider which additional devices may be required for seamless integration into your existing setup.
Fast Warranty Repairs!
We are an Apple Authorised Service Centre based in Adelaide. This means we can perform both warranty and non-warranty repairs. Our timeframes are faster than most and we have Apple Certified Techs to carry out the repairs. We also have a priority service for those who cant be without their Macs. We are now also an Apple Authorised iPhone service agent.
Service And Labour
Our workshop team are second to none and strive everyday to keep our clients happy and informed. If your hardware fails while under warranty, we can perform a repair in our service centre. If it's a Mac it's done right here! Some iPhone repairs may need to be sent away if unable to be done in house but turnaround is fast, usually 3-5 days. Loan phones available. Repairs are fast and usually without fuss or delay. A fee of $129 for Priority Service may be paid to cover you for those emergency situations. In these cases we can look at your job same day, sometimes in minutes.
For out of warranty work a book in/diagnosis fee of $129 inc GST will apply and should any further labour be required you will be notified before any further charges are incurred. Labour is charged at $175 inc GST per hr. Again Priority is available.
Yes, we can visit you onsite.
For on site situations (coming out to your home or business) we can usually arrange a visit either same or next day. A call out fee of $75 is charged and the rate is $225 inc GST per hr. Blocks of hours are available for larger companies or just those who have a large setup to do and want to avoid lots of invoices. The blocks are charged at a labour rate of $199inc GST per hr but do not attract a call out fee so save you over all. In addition to this, we also provide training for a majority of Apple products, such as Macs, iPads, iPhones and other Apple accessories. Our training is 1 on 1 or you are more than welcome to bring your other half. We tailor the lessons around your needs, which helps gain the most out of the secession. Cost is $199 per hour. We can visit you depending on location and our standard on site fee will apply.
