Why are you taking it to a shop? As far as the speaker wires go, you should rewire them with a heavier gauge anyway... The rest is a simple case of "find the beginning, find the end, tie a new wire to the old one and pull."

That's all a shop is going to do.

Ya, stereo work is the easiest thing you can do to your own car aside from changing the oil. Circuit City wouldnt install my cheapo stereo for free that I bought from them for 80 bucks because they only do it for $99 or more, but then they looked at the harness (which was sliced up under the steering column when the jackasses stole my stereo) and said it would be like an extra 60 bucks to lengthen the harness up to the DIN panel. I told them to go screw themselves. It cost me a dollar in electrical tape and electrical wire to do.
