Computer Repair Cost Australia — Pricing Guide

Last Updated:

This is our consolidated AUD pricing guide for the most common laptop and desktop repairs in Australia, 2026. We charge per-fault, not flat-rate — meaning a simple paste service costs $180, not $400 just because some authorised service centres round everything up. Detailed cost tables for specific services are linked below.

All prices fitted (parts + labour) with 90-day warranty. Diagnostic is free if you proceed with the repair; standalone diagnostic-only is $80.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is diagnostic really free?

Yes if you proceed with the repair. Standalone diagnostic-only (no repair) is $80. Most customers proceed — we don’t waste your time recommending repairs that don’t make sense.

Why are your prices lower than authorised service?

Two reasons: (1) per-fault pricing — we charge for the specific issue, not a flat fee that’s averaged across all repair types; (2) independent parts supply chain — typically 30-40% cheaper than OEM-authorised pricing for the same parts.

Cost of typical Apple Mac repair?

See logic board cost, screen cost, battery cost for Apple-specific pricing.

Data recovery cost guide?

Cash, card, EFT?

All accepted. We invoice on completion; payment due before pickup or before courier-return. ABN Australian business — full tax invoice provided.

Warranty?

90 days parts + labour on every repair. Same fault recurs, we re-do at no charge.
