Apple expands Self Service Repair and Genuine Parts Distributor programs to Canada

Apple on Tuesday announced the expansion of its Self Service Repair and Genuine Parts Distributor programs to Canada, providing individuals and independent repair professionals across the country broader access to the parts, tools, and manuals needed to repair Apple devices.
“Expanding Apple’s repair programs in Canada is another milestone in our mission to make repairs easier and more accessible around the globe,” said Brian Naumann, Apple’s vice president of AppleCare Service and Repair, in a statement. “With today’s announcement, we’re taking a meaningful step toward broadening device longevity, reducing waste, and empowering both customers and repair professionals with quality, secure repair options.”
Today’s expansion builds on Apple’s ongoing commitment to increase access to safe, high-quality repairs while supporting the longevity of its products. Launched in 2022, Self Service Repair is intended for individuals who are comfortable completing their own repairs by providing customers with repair manuals, genuine Apple parts, Apple Diagnostics, tools, and rental toolkits. Earlier this year, Apple added iPad alongside iPhone and Mac to the program. Self Service Repair continues to support a growing number of Apple products, and is currently offered in 34 countries and 25 languages.
Also launching in Canada today, Genuine Parts Distributor offers repair providers who do not have a direct service relationship with Apple access to genuine Apple parts through wholesale distributors. Repair providers in Canada can now access a wide range of Apple parts for iPhone and iPad repairs — including displays, batteries, and charging ports — via MobileSentrix. Genuine Parts Distributor has been utilized by thousands of repair businesses since its launch in the U.S. last year and across Europe in May.
Self Service Repair and Genuine Parts Distributor join Apple’s existing repair options in Canada. As the company continues to expand its repair network, 80 percent of the Canadian population is now within a 30-minute drive of an Apple Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) location, or Independent Repair Provider (IRP).
