Would love feedback on pricing of repairs I am considering doing.

Been in the repair business for many many years, mostly audio/video, but not quads.
Have watched every video I could find and it doesn't appear to be that different from past work.
Have never paid for a drone repair so if you are familiar with current pricing, please let me know how these line up.

Phantom 4 Adv/pro/pro+ only

Shell Only- $150
Landing Gear Only- $50
Gimbal Only- $200
Shell and Landing Gear- $190
Landing Gear and Gimbal- $240
Shell, Landing Gear and Gimbal- $350

All including normal parts (salvaged, when possible).
Any other parts (boards, motors, etc.) would be extra
Gimbal repair would include motors, but definitely not camera (except for attaching the flex cable).

I just had a new shell put on mine by DDS and it was $125, quick service, located 10 miles from my house in NJ, id definitely use them again

Recently crashed my P4P. Two broken motor arms, several cracks in body, cracked battery housing, one broken landing gear, scratched camera lens and gimbal shoved up into the body! No insurance, no warranty (owned it 2 years). Got on the DJI website, went to Support and to Repair Services. Filled out the information and sent it in. The emailed a shipping label. They said they would review the drone and send an estimate. I could accept the estimate or they would return the drone. Got an email om a Monday that the drone had arrived. Tuesday they sent an estimate for repair or replacement. Cost: $301.00. I paid the amount. Got an email Wednesday with a Tracking number. When it arrived, I opened the box to find a brand new P4P!!

I would got to DJI Support/Repair and try them!!

Either they are losing money on repairs or we are paying way too much for a new P4P.

I think the latter!
