If they've the time to diagnose this issue, they've the time to fix it. If 
they're quoting 3-5 days, they're taking the proverbial.

Anyway, sorry, I've broken the 14th  Commandment - thou shalt not criticise 
Apple in any way, shape or form, so I'll shut up now. ;)

Nick,
In order to have instant service for somebody who just shows up a  
service centre unannounced they would have to either drop the project  
they are on to start repairs on their unannounced arrival immediately  
or to have spare technicians hanging around on the off chance that  
somebody may show up wanting instant attention.
Not a very intelligent business model.
Frank
