# Self-Repair Program Expansions Apple Add New M1 Parts to its Self Service Repair Program By Amy Duong | Published 2022-12-21 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m1 References: [engadget](https://www.engadget.com/apple-m1-mac-desktops-studio-display-self-service-repair-205016531.html) & [engadget](https://www.engadget.com/apple-m1-mac-desktops-studio-display-self-service-repair-205016531.html)  Apple recently expanded the services under its Self-Repair program with the new additions of the M1 iMac, M1 Mac min, [Mac Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-studio-1), and Apple Studio Display parts. The technology comes with genuine parts, tools to do the job, and repair manuals. The program is made for those who have the time and patience to carry out the repairs by themselves with the skills and confidence to take matters into their own hands. This is the alternative to visiting the [Apple Store](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battersea-power-station-1) or finding a [third-party repair shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ifixit-fixbot). The parts are available to buy and the tools needed can also be rented. At the checkout, users will need to enter a code from the relevant manual in order to show that the document was read.
