I'll say that when I had my Aunt's fashion watch's battery changed, the individual that handled it inserted the wrong battery inside, the battery leaked and that was goodbye for the watch, the dealer I went to was a family friend and he replaced her timepiece with a better one, but had he not been a family friend I doubt we would of been able to recoup anything out of it. Usually service costs are cheap for quartz (cheaper than auto.) and quartz should last a long time if maintained properly.
