The hard drive on my MacBook crashed and in the process erased all of my data. The Apple store told me that Apple would cover the replacement drive, but could not be held responsible for the any data that was lost (nor the recovery of said data, if possible). They told me that my data would have to be recovered by a third party, and the process could cost between $200 and $2,000.
Utterly disappointed, I tried the Computer Hospital, who I had previously used to fix email issues I was having. I was immediately put at ease by the friendly guys at the counter. They seemed fairly confident that the data could be recovered. This was a welcome relief to me.
Happy ending: My data was completely restored, and they even ordered the new hard drive and installed it for me. I would definitely recommend these guys!
