I decided to do mine myself after being quoted $75 from some guy on this board and $150 from the dealership. Once you get the bottom cover off the car its really like a ~20 min job with regular hand tools.

This thread really helped:

You're welcome bro. What I would recommend is that if you do this by yourself, read and re-read the instructions on the site over and over so you have a better idea of what you're gonna do before you get under the car. That way you don't stress out trying to understand what the directions say while your car is in pieces. I said ~20 min earlier, but that time can grow if you're unfamiliar with what you're trying to accomplish.

Yea, effffff that man, $250 is crazy. I definitely don't make that much an hour, hell I wish I made even $75/hour. Don't know about you but it was so worth it for me to do it myself.

I need to inspect mine, i might still be running on original belts. Who knows, i might replace mine if there's wear signs.

I can take pics and write up a DIY if anyone is interested...not unless there's a DIY thread for it already, too lazy to search right now.
