I too don't understand why you would be responsible for THEM breaking the screen.

Imagine your mechanic breaks a part while changing your oil then says you're responsible for the cost of it.

    You've got a better mechanic than me I guess. If you bring in an old shitty car for repairs you can expect more than one thing is in bad shape.

    If it's already fucked and it breaks during work then you pay. The screen is not already fucked.

    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
