Any word yet on the longevity of the repair or what they actually do?*

As noted by "The Squirrel Mafia", there is a common problem that afflicts both K-30 and K-50 cameras where the aperture controller fails to properly stop down to the set diameter. The symptom is underexposure. The cost of the repair is between $150 and $200 USD. Since the cost of repair often exceeds the value of the camera, many users have opted to purpose their cameras for use with manual aperture adapted screw mount lenses.
This may not be the case with your camera, but the odds are not in your favor. :(
