BestFixing Lab

Apple repair in Barcelona, including what others turn down

We’re an independent repair workshop right in the centre: iPhone, Mac, iPad and Apple Watch. And when the fault is inside the logic board, we repair it at chip level instead of telling you your device can’t be fixed. We’ve been doing it since 2015, with more than 2,300 devices repaired.

Module or component

Apple replaces the part. We repair the board.

Apple has opened up spare-part sales, and that’s real progress. But its catalogue doesn’t contain a single component — only modules. A whole display, a whole camera, and on the MacBook Pro the battery is sold only together with the keyboard and the chassis. The chip that actually failed isn’t for sale, and it never will be.

That’s why Apple’s answer to a faulty board is always the same: replace the whole board. And here’s what almost nobody tells you before you hand the machine over: on MacBooks with the T2 chip and on every Apple Silicon Mac, the storage is soldered to that board and encrypted with it. Replacing the board means losing what was inside. The photos, the documents, years of work.

The backup that would have prevented it almost never exists, and that’s nobody’s fault either: iCloud gives you 5 GB, which isn’t even a year of photos.

We work at the level they never touch: the exact component that failed, not the board carrying it. When that’s possible, the machine goes home repaired and with its data still inside.

Why BestFixing

  • Free initial diagnosis

    We take a look at no charge and tell you what the symptom points to. If it needs opening up and measuring on the board, we tell you before we do.
  • Fixed quote

    You know the price before we touch anything. If something else shows up inside, we stop and call you.
  • We fix what others turn down

    Our own microsoldering lab: microscope, schematics and chip-level soldering instead of writing the device off.
  • Right in the centre

    Fontanella 14, one minute from Plaça Catalunya. Entrance at Carrer de les Moles, 38.

What we repair

From a screen swap to board work under the microscope. Pick your device and see which faults we handle.

Our speciality

What almost nobody in Barcelona does

Most workshops repair by swapping modules. When the fault is inside the logic board, that’s where their options end. Ours don’t: microscope, schematics and component-level soldering. It’s the difference between “it can’t be fixed” and having it working next week.

    Super recomendable! Se me rompió el cristal de una de las cámaras traseras de mi iphone 14 pro, apple me pedía 600€ y ellos en un tarde me repararon dos cristales de las 3 cámaras por 70€. Los chicos muy agradables!

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to have my device looked at?

The initial diagnosis is free: we check the device, test charging and power-up and rule out the obvious. That’s often enough to know where the fault is. When it needs stripping down and measuring the board under a microscope, that’s an in-depth diagnosis and it does carry a cost; we tell you how much before we start, and you decide.

Are you an Apple Authorised Service Provider?

No, we’re an independent repair workshop. That’s exactly what lets us repair at component level instead of replacing whole boards, which usually costs far more and often pushes you into a new device.

Another shop told me it can’t be fixed. Will you look at it?

Yes, and a second opinion commits you to nothing. If the fault is inside the logic board, a workshop that only swaps modules has no tools to solve it. With microsoldering, many of those faults can be repaired. Bring it in and we’ll tell you honestly whether there’s a way forward.

How long does a repair take?

It depends on the fault and on parts availability. Standard screen or battery repairs are quick; a board repair takes longer because the diagnosis is the slow part. We give you a specific timeframe along with the quote.

Could I lose my data?

Standard repairs never touch the storage. Even so, it’s worth arriving with a backup already made. And if the device no longer starts and it’s the photos you care about, say so when you walk in: that’s where we start.

How do I get to you?

We’re at Carrer de Fontanella, 14, ground floor, 08010 Barcelona, a minute from Plaça Catalunya. The entrance is on Carrer de les Moles, 38, opposite the Leroy Merlin Urban collection point.

Shall we take a look?

Tell us what’s wrong and we’ll tell you what it is, what it costs and how long it takes. No obligation, and the initial diagnosis is free.
