Service area
iPad & tablet repair for Johannesburg and surrounding suburbs
From Johannesburg CBD, Braamfontein and Auckland Park the drive to Jet Park is roughly 20 to 30 minutes via the N12 or N3. Northern-suburb customers from Sandton, Rosebank and Randburg reach us via the R24, and Soweto and the south via the N12.
One workshop serves the whole city, so every device is repaired by the same team with the same equipment — microscopes, hot-air and BGA stations, ultrasonic cleaning for liquid damage and professional data-recovery tools.
Johannesburg is a big city, so the form asks for your suburb. It helps us suggest the best route and time to visit, and for business customers it keeps job cards and invoices organised by branch or office.

Why choose us
Why customers choose us
Component-level repairs
We repair the failed chip or circuit instead of selling you a whole new board, which saves thousands.
Written quote first
You see the price and turnaround before any work starts. No hidden costs and no pressure.
Same-day service when booked
Most screen, battery, keyboard and port repairs are finished the same day you drop off — book ahead and we reserve a slot for you.
1–6 month warranty
Every repair is covered for parts and labour. If the same fault returns, we fix it free.
Read what customers say on Google
Our reviews are written by customers, not by us. Read them — good and bad — on our Google Business Profile before you decide. If we have repaired a device for you, we would value your honest feedback there too.
Questions & answers
iPad & tablet questions
Straight answers to the questions customers ask us most — on the phone, on WhatsApp and through voice search.
Where can I get my iPad repaired in Johannesburg?
At Genious Services, Unit 28, 587 Jones Road, Jet Park — about 20 to 30 minutes from Johannesburg CBD and 10 to 15 minutes from Kempton Park, Boksburg and Benoni.
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.
How much does an iPad screen replacement cost?
R2,800–R6,500 for standard iPads and R2,800–R18,000 across all models, depending on whether it is an iPad, Air, mini or Pro and the generation. You get a written quote first.
How much is the diagnostic for an iPad?
R499 for all iPads (the same Apple diagnostic fee we charge for Macs) and R350 for Android tablets. It is waived when you go ahead with the repair.
Can you replace an iPad charging port?
Yes — Lightning and USB-C ports, from R1,200. Sometimes the port only needs cleaning; we check that first.
Do you repair Samsung Galaxy Tab screens?
Yes. Galaxy Tab screens cost R3,000–R14,000 depending on the model, and batteries R1,500–R3,200.
Can you fix a water-damaged iPad?
Often, yes. Switch it off, do not charge it and bring it in the same day. We clean the board ultrasonically and replace corroded components.
How long does iPad repair take?
Screens and batteries for common models are usually done the same day when booked ahead or the next day. Board-level repairs take 1–14 working days.
Cracked iPad or tablet?
Send the model and we confirm the price and parts availability.
