Learn how Tekserve has survived the times and served as an honest and independent technological resource for decades. Learn more about how Apple products have changed over the years and why soldering is a thing of the past when it comes to repairs. Learn more about their E-Waste program here. This program was sponsored by Fairway Market.
"Slow electronics doesn't work as well as slow food. People are in a hurry!"
"The repair world is changing drastically. We used to do a lot of soldering and now it will move more towards swapping units."
--David Lerner of Tekserve on The Main Course
