They are especially good at physical problems and Battery and Power problems. be sure to take ALL your stuff including the power adapter.
Your appointment for an evaluation is free, and you are under no obligation to have them do anything for a fee. If you choose to, almost all repairs are flat rate, so you do not get gouged for "maybe you need that part, maybe not" the way you seem to at the car dealer.
If you are in the US, but a remote area, you can arrange for a courier-pack and have your computer sent to a depot for repair by talking to the folks who answer the 800-number. Even far beyond warranty, there should be no charge for arranging a pick-up (but there would be a fee for the out-of-warranty depot repair).
