My SL1 100D is malfunctionning. I'm considering servicing from to Canon.

Anyone has experience with Canon service center?

I have this SL1, which worked great for me.  Unfortunately 2 months ago I took it to an even and it started to rain badly.  The camera took too much wet and ceased to work.

I see on Canon site that they are going to quote it 150$ and I need to supply my own shipping too (roughly 200$ in total).  I am wondering if it worth it, or they are going to charge me for a new camera body which can potentially be  more expensive if I buy it myself to a store.

More:  I gave a try to the camera a few days ago for fun. To my surprise, it working again but only for a minute or two.  I have to remove the battery for a couple of hour to give another try for the same result later.  Everything seems fine, LCD, Flash, viewfinder and liveview are working, took pictures, clear settings etc.  Everything was top notch except it work only for a minute.  Maybe that can help to reduce the quote?
