Namur
MacBook repair for Namur
Namur is about 190 kilometres from our bench. This is exactly the kind of distance the send-in service exists for.
First the honest part
Our workshop is in Zarren, not in Namur. That is in West Flanders, about 190 kilometres away. Dropping it off from Namur costs you half a day, which is why everything goes through bpost.
The distance changes nothing about the service. bpost collects in Namur and delivers to Zarren the next working day, and the return follows the same route. Insurance covers both trips. So you lose neither time nor fuel.
What the distance does change is the maths: sending it in is almost always faster and cheaper for you than driving, even to a closer shop that would have to outsource the board work anyway.
What we see coming in from this region
Plenty of machines that have already been looked at elsewhere, often after liquid damage or a MacBook that no longer starts. A local shop swaps a screen or battery without trouble, but stops at a logic board, because that takes a microscope, schematics and experience with those exact boards.
If a shop in Namur told you it cannot be repaired, that often means: not with the tools on that bench. Ask them to send it to us, or send it in yourself. We also work as a back-office workshop for other repairers, with fixed rates and without our name towards your customer.

What it means in practice.
About 190 kilometres separate Namur from our bench, and that changes nothing about turnaround or price. The parcel makes the trip for you.
Questions from Namur
Does the distance make the repair more expensive?
No. Prices are the same across Belgium and shipping is included in the repair price. Only a return without repair costs €19.
A local shop said it is dead. Is it worth trying?
Often, yes. Most shops do not do micro soldering, so their conclusion is about what they can do, not about what is possible. We measure first and tell you honestly whether it makes sense.
Can I follow the progress?
Yes. You are notified on arrival, you get photos of the board with the diagnosis, and you approve before we start.
Next step
Too far to drive?
That is exactly why the send-in service exists. Describe the fault and you get a shipping label within one working day.
