How far is Genious Services from Menlyn?
About 35 to 45 minutes outside peak traffic via the N1 or R21 south to Jet Park.
Can you repair my device on the same day?
Very often, yes. Book a day or two before your visit β by phone, email or the repair form β and we reserve a same-day slot and have the part ready for you. Walk-ins are always welcome too, but then same-day turnaround depends on how busy the workshop is that day. Either way, we tell you honestly when you can expect your device back.
Can you repair a MacBook other shops said needs a new logic board?
Often, yes. We diagnose to component level and replace the failed chip or circuit where possible, which costs far less than a new board.

Yes. We replace USB-C / Thunderbolt and MagSafe ports and repair the charging circuits behind them, usually the same day when booked ahead, from R600.

Yes, on MacBook Pro models that have one β the 14β³ and 16β³ models from 2021 onwards and Retina models from 2012 to 2015.

Yes. A dead MacBook is usually a charging-port, power-IC or short-circuit fault on the logic board. We locate the failed component and repair it at board level.

Yes. We repair vintage Macs that many shops turn away β white and black polycarbonate MacBooks, unibody MacBook Pros (13β³, 15β³ and 17β³), the first MacBook Air, and older iMacs and Mac minis.
