I would only have a dealer or independent garage do this job if they have the special tools to deal with the broken plug, and the quoted price includes removing any they break off, or you have an agreement on the increased cost if they break a plug.

I also would advise that if one picks the DIY route, ask around in advance to see if any local garages have the special tools, so you know where to go if you do break off a plug.
