For the money an LBS will charge you, you can probably buy the tool an do it yourself - it should be under a tenner .
YouTube will probably have a tutorial or someone can explain in detail here. You need to find out if you have standard or Italian threading on your bottom bracket (the threading is reversed on one side for Italian)
They're pretty simple to remove and install, if you learn once you'll be able to do so again in future any time you need to . The tool can also be used to remove a cassette so extra useful!
