Should I have base plates professionally installed?

I have a friend who owns a shop and can install my base plates. He's never done it before so I didn't know if I should save the labor cost or if it would be wise to be robbed blind of the labor cost ...

My wife's old CRV took about two hours of simple labor. My Echo took a day, and included many refits and significant grinding of pinch welds and of the brackets.

The first one seems too easy to hire out. The second one seems too complicated to afford hiring out.
