Would I be able to get my bottom case replaced?

My AppleCare+ ends later this year, and I just had a display + top case assembly repair, which made the laptop look almost brand new. The bottom case has a decent amount of light/heavy scratches, but I would like to get it replaced to remove them. Would I be able to get it replaced even if it has no issues, and if so, how much would it cost?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

You need to ask Apple (we are your fellow end users) but we know that AppleCare+ covers accidental damage subject to a deductible, not normal wear.


Conversely, If you can make the case that the wear on the bottom cover is due to the old battery swelling, you may have a case for a covered repair.


Again, ask Apple to evaluate.
