1. Asetos Computers

Website: http://asetos.co.za/

Address: Shop G15, The Zone @ Rosebank, 177 Oxford Road

Contact: +27 11 057 5709 / +27 84 464 4666 (WhatsApp)

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM | Saturday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM 

Finding a shop that actually repairs parts instead of just swapping them is tough, but Asetos Computers stands out by offering advanced fixes for motherboards and broken hinges. 

You won’t get the usual quick replacements here, since they go deeper. When we visited their Rosebank shop to sort out a cracked screen, they handled it while we waited, making the process super easy. 

They’re really fast with the basics like battery swaps and removing viruses. If your laptop’s running slow, they can upgrade your SSD or RAM to boost speed. 

Plus, their technicians give you a three-month warranty on all repair labor and a six-month guarantee on parts, so you get peace of mind. 

Just know there’s a R345 assessment fee, but they knock it off if you go ahead with the repair. 

Additionally, complex motherboard work might take a couple of days.

Really appreciate them and their friendly service

I have used this place maybe three times in the past few years to keep an old laptop going. I am always super-impressed. They are excellent at communicating, and all my repairs/upgrades have been efficient and reliable. Great location too as you can drop off and shop and pick up later if it’s a quick thing. Really appreciate them and their friendly service.

Got my laptop back quickly and am a happy customer overall

My laptop decided to stop turning on without any warning (although it is 5 years old, so maybe it is to be expected), and I brought it to Asetos for repairs. Everyone was nice and kind, the pricing is very transparent and I was updated along the way. Got my laptop back quickly and am a happy customer overall.

An extra benefit is that this place is in Rosebank and there’s plenty to do, while you wait for the laptop.

2. PC’s R Us Computers – Managed Services Provider & IT Support

Website: https://www.pcsrus.co.za/

Address: 79 Hamlin St, Highlands North

Contact: 011 440 4000 / 068 644 5121 (WhatsApp)

Hours: Monday-Thursday, 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM | Friday, 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM 

PC’s R Us Computers waives labor charges while providing loaner laptops exclusively for clients on their Managed IT Services retainer program. 

They operate a great walk-in center that uses upfront, fixed-rate pricing instead of unpredictable hourly billing. And they really shine when fixing physical chassis damage. 

If you have cracked your rear liquid-crystal display (LCD) housing or snapped a hinge mount, they can rebuild it. They also fit high-quality replacement keyboards for both Windows and Apple devices right in their own workshop. 

If you want a speed boost, they even have solid-state drive (SSD) upgrades that give older machines a brand new feel.

The main drawback is that their loaner device perk is strictly locked to active retainer clients. Walk-in customers won’t get a backup machine during their service. 

They also stay closed on weekends, so you have to drop off your device during weekdays.

The entire process was completely stress-free

I had a fantastic experience with PCSRUS. They repaired my laptop quickly and efficiently—everything was sorted within a day. The entire process was completely stress-free, and I was kept informed throughout, which I really appreciated.

What really stood out was the extra care they took in setting everything up for me. They signed into all my email accounts, apps, and systems so I could get straight back to work the moment I received my laptop. That level of service made all the difference.

Thank you to the team at PCSRUS for the outstanding support!

3. Ayuk IT Solution

Website: http://ayukit.co.za/

Address: 24 Kruis St, Marshalltown

Contact: 078 298 2439

Hours: Monday-Saturday, 7:30 AM – 6:00 PM | Sunday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM 

Ayuk IT Solution is a hybrid tech shop where you can get your device fixed and take care of things like laminating, photocopying, printing, or even just using the internet while you wait. 

One customer told us they had their corrupted operating system reloaded here, and the team fixed the problem quickly, getting the laptop back up to speed. 

They’ve got a big range of replacement accessories too, like cables and surge protectors, right in the store. If your computer can’t be saved, you can pick up a pre-owned refurbished laptop from their shelves without any fuss. 

They even set up home or office networks if your issues are with your router. 

But keep in mind that since they’re a busy store, your repair might sometimes take a back seat to their walk-in print and copy orders.

They quickly diagnosed the problem and gave me a clear, fair quote

Outstanding Service and Seamless Repair!

My laptop had a major issue—it was essentially unusable—and I was dreading the repair process. From the moment I walked in, the experience was fantastic. The staff was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. They quickly diagnosed the problem and gave me a clear, fair quote with a realistic timeline.

The communication throughout the process was excellent; they kept me updated without me having to chase them down. When I picked up my laptop, it was working perfectly, running better than it has in months.

4. Fix My Gadget

Website: https://fixmygadget.co.za/

Address: 32 Murray Rd, Kibler Park

Contact: +27 75 046 1725

Hours: Available 24/7

Fix My Gadget goes beyond just patching up broken screens with glue. They actually rebuild the mounts and adjust the tension to stop the same break from happening again. 

They back most replacement parts, like screens and batteries, with a three-month warranty for extra peace of mind. You can also get your hardware speed boosted with SSD or RAM upgrades right there.

On top of that, their paid pickup and delivery service makes getting your gadget fixed hassle-free. And if your device can’t be rescued, they’ve got refurbished laptops ready for you to grab.

If you’re also looking for the best phone repair shop, they’re the place for that.

Just know there’s a strict R350 diagnostic fee, even if you decide not to go forward with the repair or if the device can’t be fixed. 

His service was faster, more efficient, and more helpful

I had an issue with my laptop keyboard, and after visiting two other major device companies with no luck, I found Fix My Gadget. Stephen was incredibly professional and friendly, and he had my keyboard fixed within a day! His service was faster, more efficient, and more helpful than anything I experienced elsewhere. I highly recommend Fix My Gadget for anyone looking for quality tech repairs. Definitely a 5-star experience!

5. Miteck Technology Group

Website: https://www.mitecksa.co.za/

Address: 115 Sheffield St, Kenilworth

Contact: 011 568 9233 / +27 71 534 7902 (WhatsApp)

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM | Saturday-Sunday, 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM 

Waiting for parts to ship from overseas can ruin your entire week, but Miteck Technology Group has solved that by being both a repair center and a direct hardware supplier. 

They keep a huge internal inventory of parts like bare LCD panels, cooling fans, and DC jacks, so you won’t have to wait for everything to be ordered in. This means quick repairs, even for specialized jobs like MacBook fixes. 

If your laptop screen is cracked or not working, they can swap in a new one right away. And if it’s completely fried, they’ll actually buy it from you, so you still get something back. 

Beyond repairs, you’ll find new and refurbished laptops ready to go in their shop. 

The only catch is that certain tech support tasks, like network troubleshooting or making your Wi-Fi reach further, are only available through callout service.

They restored my laptop to working condition

I had my laptop crashed, there was very important data on it for work. I took it to Matrix they said they don’t recover data. when i searched online i saw this company, i took it to them. They restored my laptop to working condition and recovered all my data from a faulty hard drive. Was so happy. I definitely recommend Miteck Technology Group.
