Better to do it yourself!
This is also bull****(Today I did 9 board repairs, three walkins, and three flat repairs. This was with four people working. They did no repair work, not their job. They work the floor, stock, clean). When you know as many shops as I you can beg to differ.
Most shops have one or two guys that do 95% of the repair work. However, even the 15yo kid sweeping the floor changes ten times the tires of anyone posting. Repetition, with supervison, is key in learning to do the repair quickly and properly.
