"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Costs depend on the issue. A from R599 assessment identifies the problem. Basic fixes like deep cleaning or software optimisation might cost R800–R1,500. SSD replacement typically runs R2,500–R4,500 depending on capacity and model. RAM upgrades cost R1,200–R2,000. We provide a written quote before proceeding, and all work comes with up to 3-year warranty."

"name": "Is my MacBook too old to fix?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Not necessarily. We regularly repair MacBooks from 2010 onwards. Older models are often more economical to repair than replace because components are affordable and the machines are simple to work on. We'll be honest: if repair costs exceed 60% of replacement value, we'll tell you. But most slowness issues are fixable regardless of age."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "Can I fix a slow MacBook myself?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "You can try basic steps: restart your Mac, empty the trash, uninstall unused applications, and close browser tabs. Activity Monitor (Applications > Utilities) shows resource hogs. But SSD health checks, thermal diagnostics, and hardware repairs require specialist tools. We recommend professional diagnosis if basic steps don't help."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "How long does a MacBook slow repair take?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Simple fixes like software cleanup take 30–60 minutes. Deep cleaning takes 2–3 hours. SSD or RAM replacement takes 2–4 hours depending on model. Logic board repairs can take 24–48 hours if we need to order parts. We'll give you a time estimate during assessment and keep you updated."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "What's your warranty on slow MacBook repairs?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "All parts carry up to 3-year manufacturer or ZA Support warranty, whichever is longer. Labour is guaranteed for 12 months—if the same issue recurs due to our workmanship, we fix it free. We stand behind every repair."

{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Why is my MacBook slow even after repair?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "This is rare, but it happens if a second issue was hidden (e.g., SSD was failing and RAM was also maxed out). We address all issues identified in assessment, so this shouldn't occur. If it does, contact us immediately—we'll investigate at from R599."
