Ah, I've been misinformed, thanks for correcting me. It sounds like the SSD shouldn't be affected for a keyboard replacement then. I'm honestly surprised that the cost breakdown has been $600 parts + $100 labor for this, I would have guessed higher on the labor side. I've done repairs on older laptops before, but looking at the instructions from iFixit I don't think I'd try this one. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Retina+MacBook+2017+Upper+Case+Assembly+Replacement/104488 https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Retina+MacBook+2017+Upper+Case+...

They fixed other stuff as well which needed the new board. I appreciate the extra fixes, but was not informed of this specifically until the machine was handed back They did confirm it was backed up when they took it though, so they assumed I could recover my data

Those instructions are for a 12" Macbook (not a 13-15" Macbook Pro). My commentary was only directed at the MBP's, I forget the 12" models exist with how rarely I see anyone actually using one. Taking apart a 12" MB is a pretty unpleasant experience. The 13-15" MBP's require some non-standard screwdrivers and is very tedious, but not overly complex.
