Surely folks you ride with are handy with a wrench. Trust me, I'm Nooooo mechanic, just a hobbiest and I put the bearings in my wife's Black Ice muscle wheels and my FLHTP Agitator front wheel (both bikes have ABS), had a local guy mounted the tires for $20. I added 3oz of dyna beads myself in all the tires, put the rotors on. So, that cost me $20. If you have a 35mm socket, you can use it to tap the bearings in. DON'T YOU DARE LET SOMEONE CHARGE YOU $300 for 45 minutes of actual work.
Last time I had a dealer touch my rear wheel, they left the belt so loose I was surprised it didn't fall off.
