How To Find Apple Authorized Service Providers

If you need to repair your Mac, MacBook or indeed any Apple device, you need to find an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP). To find the closest Apple Authorized Service Provider to you, if you’re in the US just use the USA Apple Service Provider site. All other countries can use the Apple Find Locations site to select which country you are in and find the nearest Apple certified repair center. You can book an appointment for the nearest MacBook repair near you – or for any Apple product – either online or by phoning the store nearest to you.

Follow these instruction to find the nearest Apple repair or sales center nearest you.

  • If you’re in the USA, to find the Service Provider closest to you, use the Apple Service Provider Locator. If you’re in any other country, use the Apple Find Locations tool.
  • Even if you just need to repair your Mac or Apple device, click on Sales first. If you click on Service, it takes much longer to find a Service provider near you because it takes you to Apple Online Support. This will try to solve your problem online and ask you to sign-in with your Apple ID before it will finally reveal which repair store is closest to you.

  • Apple has slightly changed the way to make an appointment at a Genius Bar. It used to be possible at this stage to make an appointment directly but it now tries to solve your problem online before it will allow you to schedule an appointment at a Genius Bar. Click on one of the Apple Authorized Service Providers and click on View Store Details.

Note that if you want to Schedule a Call, you need to have your Mac serial number handy which you can find by going to the Apple logo in the top left of your screen and selecting “About This Mac”.

If you choose Chat or Bring in for Repair, you’ll also need to have an Apple ID and password ready.
