Is it safe to give Macbook for repair?
No. They will reformat your hard drive given the slightest excuse, and you will be signing a disclaimer explicitly permitting them to do so. That is all that some of them know how to do. Do not take this risk.
Are Apple Authorized Service Providers good?
Apple authorized service providers are certified and qualified to service Apple products, but are still independent and reserve the right to set their own prices. If you need help setting up a repair with Apple directly, then use getsupport.apple.com and contact Apple support for more assistance.
Do Apple Authorized Service Providers charge?
Authorized Service Providers are required to use Apple Certified Technicians when repairing Apple products. The certification exam fees are waived for businesses that have been approved to be an Authorized Service Provider.
How do I secure my Mac before service?
Before you ship your Mac

How do I secure my Mac before repair?
If that instantly makes you concerned, here are a few ways to go about it.

- Turn on FileVault.

Should I erase my Mac before repair?
If your Mac contains particularly sensitive data, then we recommend backing up your device and then wiping your home disk before the repair process. If the work you do is particularly sensitive or there’s extremely confidential data on your Mac, then this option is going to be the only one for you.
Does Apple Repair look at your files?
They won’t be intentionally looking thru anything. They don’t have the time or interest; they work on hundreds of laptops every week, and it’s just a routine for them, so I highly doubt any of them search through people’s files.
