I just had my Rf 24-105 f4 in for repair of a scratch on the lens. The original estimate for the repair was $556.83 with my CPS discount. I bought a Canon CarePak Plus when I bought my R5 and Rf 24-105 f4. Below is my original estimate.

Here is the final total with the CarePak+ applied

Here is a thread about my experience. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/66925742

My lens scratch was not anything like yours. My scratch was on the side of the front element and I did not see any evidence in the images. I was worried in might show flare. I was very surprised when I found the scratch as I normally very careful with my lenses.

I was very pleased with my service. I sent the lens in on Friday (Canon paid the UPS Ground shipping) and I had the lens back the following Thursday. The CarePak+ saved me quite a bit. The CarePak was less than 1/2 the cost of the repair.

I hope all works out for you.
