Dunno but I DIY'd mine this week, was easy enough if you're competent at that sort of thing. Top tip would be reset the PRAM afterwards, to prevent a delay on boot as it'll be confused the boot device changed.

It all depends on whether they supply the drive i guess, as they might do the labour for free as it is only a 10min job really.

Did mine myself using the [url= http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Browse/MacBook_Pro ]IFixit[/url] guides. Easy enough and you will save cash...well assuming you have the right tools.
