You can try taking it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider, but if you have any problems after the repair, the Apple Store stands behind their repairs for 90 days. Can't says the same for AASPs. Apparently what was happening was the 2 stand off posts above the display were hitting the plastic very hard when you closed the laptop, causing cracking. The program replaces the top case (keyboard, trackpad, power button, palm rests, etc) and the display bezel of free.
Apple places a 90 day service warranty on all parts, including ones supplied to AASPs. Why does everyone assume all AASPs are these dodgy, horrible con artists? I'm trying my best here. :p Seriously though, find a reputable AASP and you should be fine.

Also, I can confirm that the issue is mostly where the plastic posts/strips above the LCD contact the Top Case when closed. Sometimes the Top Case can crack for other reasons (I have seen ones with cracks along each side rather than at the front) but it's almost always where those posts make contact.
