I have no idea. I don't use 3rd party shops for any of my apple products - I take them to Apple or an Apple Authorized service provider.


its also impossible for anyone to diagnose the full state of the damage without having the device in their hands and knowing the technology.


Apple would offer you an out of warranty replacement, which would be a like new factory refurbished device and would have a 90 day warranty. If you take it to a 3rd party place it's a case of pay your money and take your chances. Note that no 3rd party shop can purchase original, OEM new parts as they are only available to Apple and their authorized repair centers. So 3rd party shops are using salvage parts or cheap counterfeit parts.
