i think most do it themselves including me due to the outrages prices some or most shops charge (especially the stealerships).

It's a pretty easy job. Don't take it to any shops, have someone here do it for you if you don't want to do it yourself. You'll save yourself a lot of $$$

^Resurfacing needs to be done by a machine shop or a shop with the right tool.
