Craig -

In my experience I've had only one Apple repair take longer than one  
day, and that was when my display needed to be shipped off for a panel  
replacement.  All others (and there have been a number of them) have  
been completed the same day.

ProCare does get you the ability to schedule appointments farther out,  
but that seems to be about all its good for.  I just make my appts on  
Sunday night for early monday morning (if possible).  The store isn't  
crowded, and the repair usually happens within 20 minutes.
