Harder for mobile repair since they often need access to test things. I'd suggest just factory resetting things before bringing them in. Apple pretty commonly just hands you a new device and sends your old one to be repaired in a cheaper country.
The resulting computer could no longer boot Linux, or the windows factory recovery disk that came with the machine (or stock windows).
That (and the shoddy initial design with a half life of 6 months) is the reason I will never buy a Toshiba laptop again.
