Yeah, $150 is a fair deal for a shop but $150 can buy a lot of parts too.
Can fine tune your front suspension now. Maybe do a spring change? Maybe adjust preload of factory springs? Tailor it more for your weight and riding style. The options are now.
Didn't catch which bike you have. They can all be tuned though.
The factory tool kit can handle a seal change on most bikes, short of other common tools found around the home.
Just went through the same on a '77 front end. I shimmed-in 1" of additional preload to compensate for the fairing and my habit of lifting the front wheel off the ground. What goes up must come down..
