I would like to have a ballpark when I bring it in to the repair centre tomorrow. Canon 5d with body damage around the mount and the screw just above the crack has pulled its thread too  Click Here and Join the POTN flickr Group Today!

If I'm looking at this correctly, the mount unscrews from the faceplate and the faceplate unscrews from the body. It doesn't look like a major fix...how did it happen?

One of the screws has pulled its thread out so that might be hassle? If the screw lost its threads, they just replace it. If the hole is stripped, they may be able to re-tap it. Either way, I think that you are ok and it isn't going to be ungodly expensive to repair this. I can't imagine that this is the first time this ever happened. Are you sending it directly to Canon or are you having a local repair shop do the work?
