Service area
MacBook repair for Benoni and surrounding suburbs
Benoni sits right next door to Jet Park. From Lakefield, Farrarmere and Northmead it is usually 12 to 15 minutes; from Rynfield, Brentwood Park and Crystal Park allow a little longer. Lakeside Mall and Northmead are on the same route.
Because we repair everything in our own workshop, a Benoni customer's laptop or MacBook never leaves our hands. That matters for business owners and students who keep sensitive data on their devices.
From Benoni, the quickest way in is usually the N12 rather than Pretoria Road during the afternoon rush. If you are coming from Daveyton or Etwatwa, add about ten minutes and let us know you are on your way so a technician is ready to book the device in.

Questions & answers
MacBook repair questions from Benoni
Straight answers to the questions customers ask us most — on the phone, on WhatsApp and through voice search.
Is there a computer repair shop near Benoni that repairs motherboards?
Yes — Genious Services in Jet Park, about 15 minutes from Benoni CBD, repairs laptop motherboards and MacBook logic boards at component level. Board repairs take 1 to 14 working days depending on part availability.
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 collect devices in Benoni?
No. We do not collect or courier devices anywhere. Please drop off in person at Unit 28, 587 Jones Road, Jet Park. Anyone offering to collect on our behalf is not from Genious Services.
