I have a MacBook pro, about five years old. Needs a new hard drive as per the genius bar. I want to save my garage band data. Is the micro center a good bet for the repair?

I'm not sure, never used them for repairs

They will not service Macs more than 5 years old. It's in their agreement to remain a licensed Apple repair center.

They're usually good at that stuff

Yes. Them Guys are Great.

Yes they do data recovery and back up. Will cost you a few hundred...left side of the front entrance
