Seems odd to me.
My daughter's MacBook had a dead battery, I replaced it with an aftermarket 
one.
When this one later died, she took it to the Apple store and they gave her a 
new one for free.
It was long out of warranty date.
I never buy the extra Apple Care -- if you get a dud, you'll know it shortly 
after purchase, and the $$ saved will pay for repairs.
I think your son needs a second opinion!
