Service area
Computer repair for Midrand and surrounding suburbs
Midrand sits between Johannesburg and Pretoria, and the drive to Jet Park is about 30 minutes via the R562 and R21. Waterfall, Carlswald, Kyalami and Halfway House customers often come to us for MacBook logic-board, liquid-damage and motherboard repairs that other shops send away.
Many Midrand residents work from home or in the Waterfall and Grand Central business parks, so we offer quick written quotes by email and WhatsApp before you make the trip.
Midrand customers working from Waterfall or Grand Central often send the device with a colleague or family member. Add their name and number in the additional-information field and we will deal with them on your behalf.

Questions & answers
Computer repair questions from Midrand
Straight answers to the questions customers ask us most — on the phone, on WhatsApp and through voice search.
How long is the drive from Midrand to Genious Services?
About 30 minutes outside peak traffic via the R562 to the R21, then south to Jet Park.
Can you repair my device on the same day?
Very often, yes. Book a day or two before your visit — by phone, email or the repair form — 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.
Do you repair laptops for Waterfall and Kyalami businesses?
Yes. Choose "Company / Business" on the form, list every device and we send one written quote and a company invoice.
Where can I get my laptop or computer repaired near Midrand?
At Genious Services, Unit 28, 587 Jones Road, Jet Park — about 30 minutes from Midrand. Walk in Monday–Friday 8:00–17:00 or Saturday 9:00–16:00 as a walk-in, or submit the form first and we confirm the price and parts.

Yes. We replace USB-C / Type-C ports, DC jacks and MagSafe ports on laptops and MacBooks, normally the same day when booked ahead, from R600.
