What the hell are you paying someone else that thinks they have 'the knack' to do something that your knack can do already?

I would love to work on it but it is 80 miles away (that's 2 hours in LA traffic) in my parents' garage during the week, and I don't have the precision instruments, work space, or patience to do engine work, even in my parents' garage. Suspension is what I love to do.
I am not sure if you are familiar with mfi pumps but there are only a few guys in the country with the proper tools and know-how to restore one. The pistons inside the pump that push the fuel out have very tight tolerances to their bores, so tight that there are no other seal separating the oil and fuel.
Computers I have no desire to learn how to fix major problems. Although, how hard can it be to open up a laptop and plug in a different hard drive?
My dad is a checkbook mechanic. I am trying to avoid going down that route completely.
I know how all the bits work together, but there is a difference between knowing how they work and knowing how to fix things. I am sure Rick knows both but just doesn't want to do the latter.
