Apple Authorized Service Provider

An Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) is a company, organization, university, or college that has been licensed by Apple to provide repair or upgrade service for supported products with certified parts, tools, training, service guides, diagnostics and resources. Parts resellers and distributors are not eligible to become a provider.
