You would need a way to keep the valves from dropping into the cyl. as you swap the springs on each one (usually people get a fitting for their air compressor that screws into the spark plug socket, and the air pressure holds the valve up), and you would need a tool to compress the springs.

Not sure what a mechanic would charge, but why bother when you would be paying for a tow to his shop and back as well. That would cost more than the tools you need to do the swap.
