Mac repairs we fix in Brisbane
- Cracked & faulty MacBook screens. Retina display replacement for MacBook Air and MacBook Pro — cracked glass, dark patches, vertical lines, flickering or dead backlight. We colour-match and calibrate so the display looks factory-fresh.
- Battery replacement. Swollen, draining or dead batteries replaced for every MacBook generation, with proper health calibration and safe disposal of the old cell — important for the swollen batteries we see in older MacBook Pros.
- Liquid & spill damage. Coffee, water and wine spills are the number-one Mac killer. We strip the machine down, ultrasonically clean the logic board and repair corrosion at component level — far more than a simple part swap.
- Logic board & component repair. Micro-soldering for no-power, no-charge, dead USB-C/Thunderbolt ports, backlight and GPU faults — the board-level repairs most stores won’t attempt.
- macOS & software issues. Boot loops, kernel panics, stalled updates, FileVault lockouts, spinning beachballs and sluggish performance after a macOS upgrade — all diagnosed and fixed.
- Mac data recovery. Recover irreplaceable photos, documents and projects from failed SSDs, Fusion Drives and externals when a Mac won’t start.
For Apple devices beyond the Mac, see our national Apple Mac repairs and MacBook repair pages, or our Brisbane computer repairs hub for PCs and laptops.

What affects your repair cost
We don't believe in vague pricing. Your fixed quote depends on a few honest factors:
- The model and year (Apple Silicon vs older Intel boards differ a lot)
- Whether it's a part replacement or board-level micro-soldering
- Genuine Apple parts vs high-grade equivalents (we explain both)
- Whether data recovery is needed before the repair
- How much liquid damage or corrosion is present
Whatever the job, you get the price before we start and pay nothing if we can't fix it.

Mac users we help in Brisbane
Every Mac on our bench comes with a story. Here is the kind of help Brisbane relies on day to day:
Priya, a New Farm mum juggling work and a houseful of devices, knocked a glass of water across her MacBook Air. She did exactly the right thing — powered it down and brought it straight in. Because she acted fast, an ultrasonic clean and a little board-level work brought it back to life, every photo intact. Brisbane's humidity is already tough on Macs; quick action is what saves them.

Mac repair FAQs
How much does a Mac repair cost in Brisbane?
Every repair starts with a free assessment and a fixed quote before any work begins, and you only pay if we fix it — that's our No Fix No Fee guarantee. Brisbane jobs like MacBook battery or screen replacements are quoted up front so there are never any surprises.
How long does a Mac repair take?
Many Brisbane repairs — batteries, RAM/SSD upgrades, software issues — are same-day or next-day. Screen and logic-board jobs depend on parts, and we'll give you a realistic timeframe with your quote.
Do you repair both MacBooks and iMacs?
Yes — the full Apple Mac range: MacBook Air, MacBook Pro (Intel and Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3/M4), iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio and Mac Pro.
Can you come to me, or do I drop the Mac off?
Both. We offer onsite visits across Greater Brisbane and a workshop drop-off, and many software issues can be handled remotely.
My MacBook had a liquid spill — can it be saved?
Often yes, if you act fast. Power it down, don't try to charge it, and bring it in — the sooner we clean the logic board the better the outcome. We handle liquid damage at component level.
Will I lose my data during a repair?
We take care to protect your data, and if your Mac won't boot we can recover your files first. We'll always talk you through anything that affects your storage before we proceed.
Do you use genuine Apple parts?
We use genuine or high-grade equivalent parts depending on the model and what gives the best result for the price — and we always tell you which we're using before we start.
Do you work on Apple Silicon Macs?
Yes. We repair M1, M2, M3 and M4 MacBooks, iMacs, Mac mini and Mac Studio, as well as the older Intel models.
