"I was really worried when I saw my battery had swollen so much. The trackpad was completely unusable and I was scared it might explode or catch fire. Techfix took my concern seriously and fixed it the same day. Lee was very professional and explained everything clearly. The new battery works great - I'm getting 10 hours of battery life now! The price was half of what Apple quoted me, and they did it in 3 hours vs 3-5 days at Apple. Excellent service!"
