How MacBook repair pricing works
Repair pricing varies significantly by model, part quality, and whether the complete display assembly must be replaced. A newer MacBook Air or Pro screen can cost several hundred dollars in parts alone. We inspect the exact model first and provide a written quote before ordering parts or starting work.
If your MacBook is covered by AppleCare, check that option first. If it is out of warranty, bring the model number or the MacBook itself for a free diagnostic. We will confirm the part, price, and estimated turnaround before you approve the repair.

Call and Ask Us to Beat ItMacBook Air vs. MacBook Pro repair cost: why they differ
MacBook Pro repairs cost slightly more because the display panels use ProMotion and mini-LED technology (on 14" and 16" models), which are more expensive components. MacBook Air screens are more affordable because they use standard IPS/Liquid Retina panels without the high-refresh ProMotion tech.
For battery repairs, the process is similar across both lines - though M-series chip models have batteries that are more tightly integrated than Intel-era MacBooks, requiring more careful disassembly.
When to repair vs. buy a new MacBook
Repair makes sense when:
- ✓ MacBook is 1–4 years old
- ✓ Single component failed (screen, battery, keyboard)
- ✓ Repair cost is under 50% of device value
- ✓ Data, files, and apps are on the device
Consider replacing when:
- ✗ MacBook is 6+ years old (Intel era)
- ✗ Multiple components have failed
- ✗ Logic board failure (expensive to repair)
- ✗ Repair cost exceeds 70% of device value
