A TV is one of the most valuable appliances we have at home. With it, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a huge library of great films or 4K games.
Having said that, it’s not uncommon for TVs to be broken, have faulty inputs, or blurry displays. That’s why we put together the best TV repair Auckland shops in this article.
But before we proceed to our list, we’ll delve into the average prices of TV repair services. Doing so will help you lower your spending as well as pick from our list later on.
The Average Cost of TV Repair Services in Auckland
Before taking your TV in for a repair, it’s worth knowing the average cost of the services first, so you have a point of reference and can determine which is the best deal for you.
On average, TV repair shops in Auckland charge around $84 to $490 to fix your TV. These prices already comprise the labour, replacement parts, trip fees, and GST.
Anyway, below is a table that lists down the common TV issues, the components needed, and the average price to fix the TV.
| Television issue | Problem part | Average repair price |
| TV has sound and power but no picture | LED, CCFL, or backlighting | $84 – $239 |
| TV can’t switch on | Power supply, fuse | $84 – $420 |
| TV doesn’t power on along with one of the issues on this table | Capacitor | $85 – $183 |
| No power for rear projection TV | Cooling system | $280 – $462 |
| No signal with inputs | Input board | $280 – $490 |
| No sound | Motherboard | $280 – $490 |
| Double image, lines, and white or no display | Control board | $350 – $490 |
Note that we didn’t include cracked screen repairs among this list, because, usually, they cost more than if you are to buy a new TV.
Now, since the price can differ between repair companies, it’s best to do some searching online for the rates and get at least 3 quotes from your top repairer choices.
Some offer a free estimate conducted in your house, while others charge an inspection fee + GST, as shown in our table below.
| TV repair shop | Inspection fees |
| Advanced Computers | $52 + GST |
| Technofix | $89 + GST |
| Phillips Electronics | $30 + GST |
| Samsung Authorised Service Centre | $100 + GST |
Given the other expenses you have, you may think that repairing your TV is out of your budget. But there are a few practical ways that you can do to cut down the repair costs.
One thing you can do is to resolve the issue on your own—if this is at all possible. Visit the manufacturer’s site and check the troubleshooting pages for a solution to your TV.
Next, you should be resourceful. For example, if one of your TV’s input ports isn’t working, then you can just use the others, which will be fine even if you don’t get your TV fixed.
Also, if you’re set on repairing your TV, you can bring it to the store yourself. In effect, this saves you from having to pay additional fees for mailing or pickup services.
The 5 Best TV Repair Auckland Shops
With those things in mind, we now give to you the absolute best TV repair services in Auckland!
1) Advanced Computers (Penrose)
| Services | Apple Mac repairs iPad & iPhone repairs Computer & laptop repairs Electronic repairs |
| Website | https://www.advancedcomputers.co.nz |
| Address | 67 Station Road, Penrose, Auckland 1061, New Zealand 7C Triton Drive, Rosedale, Auckland 0632, New Zealand |
| Contact details | Penrose, Auckland Branch Phone: +64 9-525 0240 Fax: (09) 4448873 Rosedale, Auckland Branch Phone: +64 9-444 8823 Fax: (09) 4448873 |

For Macs, PCs, phones, iPads, cameras (including vintage models), and TVs, Advanced Computers can fix within the same day, or express within just an hour, if you prefer.
Whether your TV has a cracked screen, exposed wiring, whisper-quiet volume, or burn-in, their licenced team can remedy it. You can also count on them since they are able to service leading television brands from LG to Samsung.
Though they garnered great client reviews for computer repairs, others complained of unresolved problems and high pricing for their TV repairs.
However, this only came from very few clients so this shouldn’t be much of a concern. Naturally, the repair may go well for some, but not quite for others, as with other companies.
As a matter of fact, they are a top TV repair choice for prominent insurance companies, which suggests their expertise and reliability.
With two stores located in Penrose in the CBD and the other one in Rosedale up north, they have plenty of free parking space outside, especially during the weekends.
Pros
- Next-day or same-day repairs available
- Nationwide service
- 3-month guarantee
Cons
- Additional charge for same-day services
- Repair may take approx. 3 – 5 days if a special part is required

Even though they don’t have a website yet, we picked them as one of our best TV repair Auckland shops because of their outstanding service and rave reviews from clients.
They are a warranty repair service handling all kinds of appliances. However, they specialise in efficient and prompt TV repairs.
They mostly fix LG, Philips, and Panasonic brands, whether ordinary or smart TVs. To be sure, give them a call and see whether they can repair the TV brand that you have.
What’s great about them is if they don’t have the stock in their store, they won’t give up on the repair right then and there. In fact, they will contact the supplier to get the part/s to get the job done.
Furthermore, if a repair is not viable, they’re honest enough to tell you and will even help you to replace it and at no further charge, if it’s under warranty.
Best of all, unlike competitors, repairs are usually successful with them. One client was even surprised beyond his ‘wildest dreams and expectations’ (verbatim) with the TV repair.
Pros
- Services all brands of TVs
- Can also repair computers and disc players
- Superb client reviews
Cons
- Rude receptionist for a couple of clients
- No same-day service

| Website | https://www.teletechelectronics.co.nz |
| Address | 3133A Great North Road, New Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand 138j Harris Road, East Tamaki, Auckland 2013, New Zealand |
| Contact details | Phone: 09 827 7677/09 527 8323 Email: [email protected] |

Teletech Electronics Service Centre is one of the largest repair centres servicing TVs, laptops, coffee machines, microwaves, washing machines, amongst others.
They can repair a broad range of TV brands particularly, Philips, Sharp, Veon, TCL, Panasonic, LG, and Pioneer. Also, they work with leading retailers and insurers in the country.
Being an authorised TV repair centre means they have genuine replacement parts for your damaged TV and can accommodate the service warranty of the branded product.
Their drawback is in their customer service, which is sometimes inconsistent that provides the wrong information to clients and causes inconvenience.
For example, a representative said to one client before that the TV could be picked up in their East Tamaki branch—where she drove all the way to—but as it turned out, the TV had just been sent to the New Lynn branch.
Hence, if you select this company, it’s best that you frequently follow up with the TV repair service or clarify information with them, just to be on the safe side.
Other than that, they fix damaged products rather well and can deliver them over to your place. And so, given the less reputable repairers out there, Teletech still makes it into our list!
Pros
- Authorised TV service centre
- Pickup and delivery service available
- Has 2 Auckland locations
Cons
- Mediocre customer service
- Slower service than others
Customer Reviews
Although it received complaints about their poor customer service, you‘ve got to hand it to them since they had still fixed most clients’ televisions or appliances.
One client named Roger remarked of them:
“Excellent service and support from a very knowledgeable team. A very good business and great for their customers. I am a repeat customer….”
Also, Scott shared his experience here:
“I put my 55 inch TV in for repair at Teletech but it wasn’t able to be repaired. Although the TV was 5 1/2 years old Teletech still passed the details to Panasonic and worked out a solution that made us very happy! Thanks Teletech, great service in a timely manner :)”

They service TVs with any issue ranging from pixelated and dark screens to Wi-Fi connection issues. They can also fix satellite boxes that let you view cable television.
One of our qualms is that they aren’t explicit on their warranty nor their TV repair rates, despite having a section for the latter on their website.
Next is that a number of clients said they were treated rudely and received no or very delayed response. These were not, however, the case for the greater half of clients.
NZ Electronics Repair accepts device mail-ins and is open for the entire week. You can therefore carefully pack your TV and ship it over to them so work can be started ASAP.
Pros
