In addition to new cables, it will need new grease, new bar tape, possibly new bearings as well. Once you get your minimum of posts in, you should be able to post some pictures so that we can see what you have and what we think it needs.
All of the maintenance can be done in your own garage or basement, assuming you have the proper tools. You're better off doing it yourself, IMO. We can help.
