How long should a typical iPad Pro 11 repair take in a busy shop?
Hey everyone, I run a busy repair shop and I'm trying to get a better understanding of the typical turnaround time for an iPad Pro 11 repair. I find that it can take me anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the type of damage and the parts I have on hand. I’m curious about how other shops handle this and what your experiences have been like. Do you find that you're able to complete repairs faster, or does it usually take longer? Any tips on streamlining the process would be appreciated!

In my shop, we target a 2-hour completion time for iPad Pro 11 repairs. It really helps to keep a well-stocked inventory of common parts—like screens and batteries—so you’re not waiting on shipments. We also use a shop management software that lets us track repairs and communicate with customers more effectively, which saves time in the workflow. Just make sure to manage customer expectations, especially during peak hours!
I typically find that my repairs take about 3 hours, especially when I have to deal with software issues or water damage. I recommend having a solid relationship with a reliable parts vendor; it really makes a difference when you can get parts quickly. Additionally, consider having a dedicated technician for iPads during busy times to help speed things up. Good luck!
