Ditto on fast apple service. I took my macbook into the Apple Store last week and it needed a new top case. They replaced it while I waited and start to finish the process took under 20 minutes, including diagnosis. It wasn't cheap...$150 and the 'book was just two months out of warranty...but it was fast and convenient. I live 5 minutes from the store.
FYI, they at first had an $85 installation fee on the bill. I balked at $85 for a 10 minute job and started doing a mumbling out-loud calculation of the $235 bill as % of the price of a new machine. They waived the fee in about 10 seconds.
