It's not just a set of new seals you're paying for. They bore the cylinder out, sleeve it with brass and remachine it to the original spec. That takes expertise and the correct equipment. And they do it day-in and day-out.

When it comes to something as important as stopping, I am happy to pay for an expert to do the job right.

Reminds me of what someone told me years ago when I was pricing out getting Lasik done to improve my vision.

You want an eye surgeon to do Lasik. Do you want an expert who has done it for 20 years? or do you want to be part of some general practicioner's learning curve who was doing liposuction last week and just put out his fancy discount advertising blitz this week?.
