What Affects the Cost
Keyboard sits right over the board
On the MacBook Air, liquid that gets past the keyboard reaches the logic board quickly, so fast action matters.
Time since the spill
Corrosion keeps spreading after a spill. A Mac that reaches us within a few days usually needs fewer parts than one that sat for weeks.
What was spilled
Water is the least corrosive. Coffee, soda and juice leave sticky, conductive residue that damages more components.

Apple typically charges $600-$1,500+ for this repair on the MacBook Air. WarriorMac uses genuine Apple parts or component-level repair, gives you a free diagnosis first, and usually finishes in 1 to 3 business days after your Mac arrives.
