The Pros are obviously a lot quicker, and probably do a better job, but learning how to do all of that stuff is fun, cheap, and you can do damn near as good of a job as the pros.

Another good thing about learning how to do it yourself is that you can stay on top of the maintenance. I work on so many bikes with loose headsets and hubs needing adjustments!
