The shop has experience. They know it's very probable it will break. They didn't pay for the lesson, but you will pay for their experience. Get mad at the engineer of the phone not the repair technician.
If the carmaker has a recall on the airbags, and the dealer breaks the instrument cluster in the process of replacing the airbag assembly, you're goddamn right I'm not paying for the instrument cluster. I don't care if the car is ten years old. It's a recall, which means it's bad design and always was. That is 100% on the mechanic, the manufacturer, and the engineer that designed the instrument cluster to break if the airbag is replaced.
They can fuck right off with that shit
This is apples and oranges.
How, exactly?
Bro just let him get fleeced by the phone store in peace.
