Apple expands self-service repair to MacBooks

Apple has announced that its self-service repair facility will be available for MacBook Air and MacBook Pro notebooks with the M1 family of chips.

The service will provide repair manuals and genuine Apple parts and tools through the Apple Self Service Store.

The Apple self-service for Macbooks offers different repair types for each model which will be inclusive of repairs to the battery, display, trackpad, and more.

Tools and parts of the device will be available at all Apple Store locations and Apple Authorized Service Providers, to allow ease for customers to repair their MacBooks if they have the skill to repair complex electronic devices.

According to the blog, customers will need to review the repair manual for the product they intend to repair by visiting support.apple.com/self-service-repair. They can visit the Apple Self-Service Repair Store later and order the tools and parts required for the repair.

The company promises that it provides genuine projects engineered and designed for each device, to ensure quality, safety, and reliability. Replaced parts can be sent back to Apple for recycling or refurbishments, and might receive a store credit on their purchase for doing so.

Rental kits are offered by the company at $49, shipped free of charge, and can be retained by customers for a week. The company now has more than 3500 Independent Repair Providers, and 5,000 Apple Authorized Service Providers globally, supporting more than 100,000 active technicians.
