AppleCare Purchase after my MacBook Air was repaired

I recently got my laptop repaired and I would like to purchase AppleCare. The manager from the Apple Store told me I would be eligible to purchase the AppleCare after repairing it but I cannot find my laptop to be eligible. Serial number of my laptop is HV***TTQ

If I buy a *NEW* Macbook from the previous year, will I be able to activate AppleCare for it? I'm looking into buying a 2023 *NEW* Macbook Pro, clearly it's from last year but it is brand new, not refurbished. Will I be able to activate Apple Care for it even if it is a model from 2023?

Is it really possible to get applecare for my mac after it got repaired by an authorised service provider? I've got my macbook pro m3 7 months ago and didn't purchase applecare plan. Today I got a surprise when I opened my mac and saw that the screen is damaged. I took my mac to the only authorised service provider that exists in my country and they quoted 1000 dollars for a repair. Now I know that you have only 60 days for purchasing applecare plan and that window is closed for me but I'm willing to pay for repairing my mac. Today I've read that apple allows mac and iphone users to purchase applecare if the repair services are provieded by Apple authorised service providers. Since the screen got damaged out of the blue I'm considering getting applecare if it's really possible after repairing it, but I couldn't find any info on apple webpage and consultant didn't have any information either. I would like to know if that policy really exists and If anyone had any experience regarding getting applecare after repairing their product.

This is primarily a user-to-user support forum; other Apple users like you. I haven't seen any official announcement from Apple.

According to the following article you will need to go to an Apple Store or an Authorized Service Provider.
