I would definitely get a second opinion on the health of all those
components -- 
I've heard a few horror stories about repair shops before. See if someone
you trust  can recommend  a competent technician -- if he/she confirms the
diagnosis at least it will put your mind at rest. If it turns out it is
just your power supply or your BIOS needs to be reset or something stupid
like that it will save you a bundle.
