As Hankpage said, "Do it yourself"...
You can buy a HF hydraulic jack, a torque wrench (to reinstall the lug nuts), a complete set of bearings, races and seals, a tube of bearing grease and a 6-pack of adult beverage for less than $100.
If you're "physically able" to kneel and sit for a couple of hours, the task is not "mechanically challenging" and you can save enough to do that "long weekend with the family".....
On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the most difficult, I'd rate cleaning/regreasing the current bearing sets as a 2 and I'd rate cleaning/replacing bearing/races and regreasing as a 4. The "toughest part" is jacking the wheel/manhandling it off the hub. Otherwise, the heaviest thing you'll be lifting is the hub that weighs about 15 pounds.
Check out the You-tube videos and see what you think......
