2012 rMBP, can I save money by replacing battery and keyboard at the same time

[foidulus]

So I have a 2012 rMBP whose battery is basically RIP. The thing is a few years back I spilled soup on it, and the keyboard is broken(and of course the moisture sensors are red). I was thinking about getting the battery replaced, but if I did that could I save money on asking them to replace the keyboard at the same time? Since most of the money comes from the case I would guess so, but wondering if anyone had any similar experience

Where were you going to get it replaced? Best bet is to just ask them really.

Between the cost of a new battery and a new keyboard (the repair may involve _more than_ just a keyboard), it might be time to start "thinking new", or at least "thinking Apple-refurbished".

I'd suggest an Apple-Refurbished 2015-design MBPro 13".

Here in PT an out of warranty replacement of the top case (including battery, keyboard and trackpad) for a mid 2012 rMBP is 259€ which already includes all the Vat and install costs, just don't let them know about the liquid damage.... the top case must be in good condition with only mild damage accepted... if extensive damage to top case, then other fees might apply...
