My wife's HDD on her MacBook went out about a week after warranty expired, the genius didn't even hesitate replacing it. We forgot to take the OS install disk with us so they just upgraded her to Leopard free of charge!

The really cool thing was that there was this other lady there with a similar problem, she was over a year outside of warranty and they still replaced her HDD free of charge!

Apple really knows how to take care of their customers. And I'll bet that's a huge part of why they have such loyal ones.

Nice stories. :)

A few years ago, I had some issues with my PowerBook 15. Unfortunately it was past the AppleCare warranty. After I mentioned that I really needed the PowerBook because of Classic support, and did not want a MacBook Pro replacement (they had just been released) they did a major overhaul of it including replacing the logic board, keyboard and a few other items.

It's seems only fair that Apple would go the extra mile in providing good service--we are paying top-dollar for their products (which are top quality and well worth it). I imagine that not all Apple agents would have been willing to replace something that was outside of warranty, but I don't know that with certainty because I have never had to return anything for service. Anyway, congrats on getting the battery replaced free and feeling happy.

Puts alot more faith into Apple Care for me. I have not purchased it yet, I have until September, but the things I read like this, the more I assure myself I am going to get it.

Its nice to hear a change of pace from the "I hate the Genius that...."
