That's crazy. I have the same Mac and just got a swollen battery replaced, and had them also clean up the machine and replace the thermal paste ... for a grand total of €258 (taxes included), at a random third party shop in Germany. And I thought we were being ripped off vs. US prices!
- asadkn 7y agoI was expecting ~$250 from what I had read on internet. But I suppose it's the same in places where there's no official Apple presence - we have these 3rd party "authorized service providers". Or perhaps it's something to do with local customs/duties on imports.
