I don't know how much for a pro to do it, I replaced my own. The hub assembly was $65, but that's US cash.

They're not hard to do, if you can do a brake job you can replace the hub assembly. After you get the brakes off, you'll need to remove the center nut on the drive shaft, 3 torx bolts that connect the hub to the strut and (with a little coaxing) it'll slide off. You have to put the car in neutral before jacking so you can rotate the hub. You'll need to turn the hub to align the hole with the torx bolts. (it makes more sense when you've got it torn down.) Just remember to block the wheels and set the e-brake!

I've gotten a bad one from Autozone, so do a search here for who has good ones.
