Yes — we cover the full EH5 postcode area. That includes Lower Granton Road, Granton Road, Pilton Drive, Granton Harbour, West Pilton, East Pilton, and the rest of central Edinburgh. Whether you need a workshop drop-off, a home visit, or doorstep collection, we adapt to fit your schedule.
All our labour comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty — if the same fault returns, we'll put it right. Parts we supply (batteries, SSDs, screens, keyboards) carry the manufacturer's warranty, typically 6–36 months depending on the component.
We repair every major MacBook brand in Granton and Pilton: Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Toshiba, MSI, Razer, Microsoft Surface, and more.

Usually one of: bad charger, worn USB-C/MagSafe port, SMC fault, or battery degradation. For Granton and Pilton customers we test the charger first (often the cause), then the port, then the SMC, then the battery. Each is a different repair cost — port replacement is moderate, SMC reset is free, battery replacement is the big one. We quote before any work and will tell you when replacement is more sensible than repair.
Yes. We replace MacBook batteries weekly for Granton and Pilton customers, and the procedure varies wildly by model year. Older Pros (pre-2012) take 10 minutes; modern Retina Pros and Airs are glued in and need adhesive-removing solvent, plastic picks, and patience. We use OEM-grade replacements only — no eBay specials — and reset the battery learning cycle before handover. 12-month battery warranty as standard.
Yes — logic board work is a real specialism and we do it. For Granton and Pilton MacBooks, common component-level repairs are: failed charging ICs, water-damaged trace repair, GPU reflow on older Pros, failed SSD controllers, and burned capacitors. We use a proper microscope, hot-air station, and microsoldering setup — not the "reflow with a hairdryer" approach you see online. Honest diagnosis and a frank quote before committing to anything irreversible.
