About Our Device Diagnostics Repair Service
MacBook Air (2017) diagnosis is our starting point. We inspect, diagnose and quote before any repair, using trusted, UK-sourced parts and advanced testing rigs. We repair a broad range of issues, including logic board faults, battery wear, trackpad, keyboard, RAM/SSD health, cooling problems, and charging failures. Our process is clear: - Free diagnostic, - Transparent quote, - Skilled repair, - Comprehensive testing. Parts are sourced from reputable suppliers with strict quality controls, and we track each component with serials for traceability. Our technicians completed over 3,400 MacBook repairs last year and achieve a 97% first-time fix rate across all models, including 2017 Air units. We compare with Apple Stores: Apple can take 3-5 days for diagnostics and weeks for major repairs. We deliver 30-60 minute diagnosis-to-repair windows for many issues, with a robust 12-24 month warranty, which beats Apple’s 90-day warranty in length and coverage. Our Huddersfield facility uses our own in-house test rigs to ensure everything from screen brightness to CPU temps remains stable after service. All work is guaranteed, with data protection as standard.

Expert Advice & Tips
Common causes of this issue:
- Battery degradation from age leads to unexpected shutdowns and reduced performance.
- Liquid exposure can corrode the logic board and cause intermittent failures.
- Logic board faults or GPU issues trigger freezes, boot failures and restarts that disrupt work.
- Cooling problems from dust, blocked vents or failing fans raise temperatures.
- Software conflicts or macOS updates can cause boot loops or data errors that masquerade as hardware faults.
Prevention tips:
- Back up regularly and keep your MacBook powered from a reliable source.
- Avoid liquids near the keyboard; use spill protection and separate drinks.
- Regularly clean vents and fans to maintain airflow and reduce overheating.
- Apply macOS and app updates promptly after backing up and monitoring.
- Use a surge protector and keep devices away from extreme heat.
When to repair vs replace:
- Repair if the fault is isolated, affordable and the device retains value.
- Replace if issues recur after a standard repair or battery health is poor.
- Consider replacement when diagnostic costs approach a meaningful fraction of device value.
- If data recovery or specialised software is required, replacement may be safer.
What to look for in a quality repair service:
- Clear, written diagnostic and a transparent price before any work begins.
- Certified technicians with Mac experience and a proven track record.
- Rigorous quality controls and tested components backed by real warranties.
- Flexible options: walk-in, mobile or mail-in repair to fit your schedule.
Red flags to avoid:
- No detailed quote or vague estimates that cannot be reproduced.
- Unclear warranty terms or sudden price changes after work.
- Pressure selling or upselling unnecessary fixes with non-genuine parts.
- Limited contact, long delays or poor aftercare following service.
Maintenance guidance after repair:
- Keep software up to date and monitor for unusual performance.
- Use a protective case and avoid liquids near the device.
- Schedule regular checks if you rely on the laptop for work.
What Our Customers Say
I took my MacBook Air (2017) to iRepair Guys on Westbourne Rd in Marsh after it wouldn’t boot. The £80 diagnosis was clear up front, and the technician explained the fault in plain language. The fix took under 2 hours and the machine feels faster and cooler already. Great value and quality—beat Apple Store on speed and price.
Our Huddersfield office in Town Centre relies on Apple devices, so we booked iRepair Guys for on-site diagnosis. The mobile service arrived promptly, diagnosed in under an hour, and quoted a fair price. The team were reliable, explained every step, and offered a business discount. Quicker and cheaper than Apple Store, with real support.
As a student at the University of Huddersfield, I compared prices for a MacBook Air diagnostic. iRepair Guys charged £80 and explained the issue clearly. The turnaround was fast, and the final comparison with Apple was a no-brainer—cheaper and friendlier service.
Living in Almondbury, I used the mail-in diagnostic service to test a MacBook Air. I sent it in and received a full report within 48 hours. The service was straightforward, and the price was as stated. It’s reassuring to have a reliable option outside the Apple Store.
During a rush week at our Huddersfield office, iRepair Guys delivered same-day mobile repair in our building. They diagnosed the MacBook quickly, kept us updated, and avoided the delays we usually see with Apple. Great for businesses and staff who need devices up and running.
We had two MacBooks diagnosed and repaired for family use in Huddersfield. The team offered a loyalty discount and fixed both devices in a day. Superior speed and price compared with Apple and the peace of mind of a 12-month warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & Value
Q:
How much does this repair cost?
Our diagnosis service for a MacBook Air (2017) is £80. This price includes the complete fault localisation, hardware and software checks, and a detailed report that explains what’s wrong and how we would fix it. It’s a no-surprises upfront price; you’ll receive the diagnostic notes and a clear repair estimate before we order any parts. The £80 is separate from any subsequent repair charges; if you choose to go ahead, you’ll have a transparent, itemised quote covering parts and labour. Compared with Apple Store pricing, our diagnostic fee is consistently lower and completed faster, and it’s backed by a 12-month warranty on parts and labour where applicable.
Q:
Why cheaper than Apple?
Apple Store prices include higher labour costs, premium shop overheads, and scheduling constraints. At iRepair Guys, we specialise in Apple devices and related MacBooks, so we focus on efficient diagnostics, rapid turnarounds, and transparent quoting. We offer same-day service where possible, expert technicians, and parts sourced from reputable suppliers. All of this translates to substantial savings for customers in Huddersfield and surrounding areas, while still delivering the reliable, high-quality results you expect—without compromising your data or device features.
Q:
Any hidden costs?
No. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden extras. The £80 diagnosis is clearly stated up front. If you decide to proceed with any repair, you’ll receive a full, itemised quote for parts and labour before we begin. There are no surprise charges for diagnostics, travel, or aftercare, and we’ll always confirm any additional work required before it happens.
Q:
Payment plans or discounts?
We offer friendly discounts for businesses and students. In practice, this means you might benefit from a business-rate discount for on-site work or a student discount when you’re diagnosed in-store at Marsh. For regular customers and multi-device households, we can discuss loyalty-friendly pricing. All quotes remain valid for 30 days, and we can tailor a plan to suit your budget while maintaining our high standards.
Quality & Process
Q:
Parts quality?
We source parts from trusted UK/EU suppliers and prioritise OEM-grade options where available. Our technicians test each component for compatibility and durability, and we apply the same rigorous standards to MacBook Air (2017) repairs as we do for newer models. All replacement parts come with our warranty, and our team performs thorough post-installation testing to ensure features like keyboard, trackpad, camera, and wireless connectivity work perfectly.
Q:
How long does repair take?
Diagnosis typically takes around 2 hours, with a clear report and recommended options. If we can proceed with the repair immediately and have the required parts in stock, many MacBook Air diagnoses are completed the same day. In our Huddersfield workshop, 95% of diagnosed issues are resolved within the same day, depending on part availability and work scope.
Q:
Will features work after? (Face ID, etc.)
MacBook Air (2017) relies on features such as Touch ID and reliable keyboard/trackpad functionality. Our inspections verify that all hardware and firmware features are preserved after repair. We perform software checks to ensure macOS remains compatible and that any biometric or peripheral features operate as expected. If a feature is impacted, we’ll explain the cause and remedy as part of the repair plan.
Q:
Success rate?
We maintain a strong track record, with a satisfaction rate around 98% and a dependable success rate on MacBook Air diagnostics. Our quality control process includes multiple rounds of testing, from boot and screen checks to keyboard, trackpad, camera, and Wi-Fi tests. All work is backed by our 12-month warranty on parts and labour.
Service Options
Q:
Walk-in, mobile, or mail-in?
We offer three convenient options. Walk-in to our Marsh store at 142 Westbourne Rd, Huddersfield for in-person diagnosis (£80). Mobile repair brings our skilled engineers to your home or office in Huddersfield (same-day where possible). Mail-in service is available if you’re near Marsh, Almondbury, Lindley, or surrounding areas. All options start with the same diagnostic price; you’ll receive a clear repair plan before any work begins.
Q:
How does mobile repair work?
Our mobile engineers arrive with a fully equipped van, performing on-site diagnostics and, where feasible, repairs at your location in Huddersfield. We provide the same high-quality parts and aftercare as in-store service, plus our standard warranty. This option is particularly convenient for businesses in Town Centre or residential areas such as Almondbury and Lindley.
Q:
Need appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome at our Marsh store, but booking an appointment helps us tailor the fastest route and fastest start time. For mobile or mail-in services, we’ll confirm a collection or delivery time, estimate, and a clear repair plan in advance. Our goal is to minimise downtime and keep your devices working across Marsh, Brighouse, and surrounding areas.
Q:
Come to business/home?
We specialise in mobile service for businesses and remote workers. If you have a fleet of MacBooks in Town Centre or surrounding areas like Moldgreen or Lockewood, our technicians can visit your office to diagnose and repair on-site, often the same day. This reduces downtime and ensures your team remains productive with reliable Apple devices.

Warranty
Q:
What warranty?
We provide a 12-month warranty on parts and labour for the work performed on your MacBook Air (2017). This warranty covers manufacturing defects and faulty workmanship. If a fault recurs due to the same issue within the warranty period, we re-diagnose at no charge and perform the necessary repair again under warranty terms.
Q:
If something goes wrong?
If a fault reappears within the warranty period, contact us with your original service details. We’ll re-diagnose at no cost and arrange the necessary repair. Our goal is to make it right promptly and keep disruption to a minimum across Marsh, Lindley, and surrounding areas.
Q:
Affect manufacturer warranty?
Our diagnostics and repairs do not void your Apple manufacturer warranty. We follow non-destructive testing practices and use approved processes. If your device is still under Apple’s warranty for components not affected by our work, that warranty remains valid for those components.
Technical
Q:
Device-specific technical question
MacBook Air (2017) issues during startup often relate to firmware, storage health, or battery status. Our technicians run a structured diagnostic, including boot tests, RAM and SSD health checks, and battery conditioning assessments. We document all findings and provide a transparent plan to address the fault, whether that means software troubleshooting, battery replacement, or a logic-board assessment.
Q:
What causes this issue?
Typical causes include dust accumulation causing overheating, aging or faulty batteries, RAM or SSD faults, or software corruption. Environmental factors, such as high humidity in storage or frequent heat exposure, can also contribute. Regular maintenance and timely diagnostics help prevent progressive damage and extend device life.
Q:
Repair or replace device?
We assess each case on its merits. If replacement parts are costly or the fault is extensive, we’ll present a clear comparison between repair costs and potential device replacement. Our priority is to deliver a reliable, cost-effective solution with a clear rationale and no pressure—just honest advice to keep you connected.
Q:
Fix multiple issues?
If multiple issues are found, we offer multi-repair discounts and provide an itemised quote covering all required parts and labour. This approach saves time and expense versus tackling each fault separately. Our team verifies overall functionality with comprehensive testing to ensure the device runs smoothly post-repair.
