I'm a little cheaper than that, (under $200) but agree with you on not
doing it in the home.  To many starving lawyers.

Takes me about two hours, start to finish, to do two tubes.  Customer
thinks you are charging $100 per hour, plus the service call.  Like you,
I want it in the shop where I can check it for at least 24 hours for
leaks and have everything at hand if something goes wrong.  Like a
midwife delivering a baby at home.  If complications develop, things can
get nasty.
