Repairs, Prices and Visiting Us
Can’t find your answer? WhatsApp us or send us an enquiry and our team will get back to you.
We’re at Shop A17 on Level A of Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village, 27 Somerset Road, Green Point. It’s one level up from Spar, near Sorbet Man, so you can book a treatment while we fix your device.
Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm, Saturday 9am to 4pm, and Sunday and public holidays 10am to 2pm.
Book-ins, sales and advice happen in our store, and repairs are done in our repair lab in the same building, right next to the store.
We specialise in Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, MacBook and iMac) and Samsung phones and tablets. We also repair Huawei and Nokia phones, Windows laptops and wireless audio. See our iPhone repairs and Samsung repairs pages for prices.
A typical screen or battery replacement takes 60 to 120 minutes, sometimes less. For complex repairs and diagnostics, we usually get back to you within 24 to 48 hours.
It depends on the device and the repair. See our iPhone repair prices and Samsung repair prices, or WhatsApp us your model for a quote. The final price is always confirmed before we start.
Yes, on selected repairs. Our iPhone price list shows a lower Book online price when you book through our website before you come in.
Straightforward repairs such as screen or battery replacements don’t usually need a paid assessment. For liquid damage and other complex faults, a R495 assessment fee applies.
When your phone struggles to hold a charge, shuts down early or slows down. All batteries lose capacity over time, and we recommend replacing yours once battery health drops to about 80% or lower.
We’re an out-of-warranty repair centre, so contact your service provider or the manufacturer first. If the device has liquid or physical damage, you’re welcome to bring it in for an assessment.
We mostly use AAA-grade generic screens, batteries and other parts, backed by up to a 6-month warranty. If we can source original Apple parts for your repair, we’ll let you know. For Samsung and Huawei, we offer both original and AAA generic parts.
Repairs come with up to a 6-month warranty on qualifying parts and workmanship. It covers faults with the replacement part or our work, not new accidental or liquid damage. Pre-owned devices come with a 3-month in-store warranty.
