Shops with experience that work hard can make more per hour. A first time DIYer can do it in 12 hours and save the labor, but should be confident in his skills to do a careful, competent job. This is more advanced than changing your brake pads, but certainly not beyond advanced DIYers.

I was curious as I sourced my own parts and paid $1500 in labor. I was trying to compare labor rates people are being quoted, that's all. I agree that this is an advanced DIY job, as I planned on doing my own, but with #brokenhandproblems and the plan to go FI before my hand heals enough to do the work, I wasn't left with much of a decision.
