Couldnt say that i have ever asked a shop to do that. Probably a performance shop but i would save the time and money and do it myself.

labor probably 1 hour - $65 / $75 depending on the shop
0 gauge cable.. $100
other misc stuff.. $30

if you get a 0 gauge amp kit its $90 .. comes with everything you need..

its really easy to do though.. the hard part is finding the hole in the firewall.. everything else is easy.. and finding the hole is simple

That's simple, just put a + terminal post under the hood like the Mercedes and bimmers have.
