Sounds like less than a day's work, might be able to find a local Joe to do it for you. Real shops might not be too keen on finishing/redoing some other place's work.

could save yourself some $$ by watching some youtube videos on how its done and finishing it out yourself.... Sounds like a weekend of work to get it running if that
