$110 is a reasonable amount to have someone who knows what they are doing, and stands behind their work. My company charges $65 for the service call (about half of the going rate around here) and the remote is $40. so, $105+ is not bad for getting it done.

They are easy to program. IIRC the Genie Intellicode has a "learn" button under the light cover on the right side as you are looking at it. You just have to push the "learn" button and the button on the new remote within 30 seconds. The light on the opener should blink if it took the new remote successfully.

If not this is where things could get a bit tricky. Most openers only store 7-8 codes, so if you keep trying to program the new remote and it isn't taking the code...you could be erasing the codes for any other remotes, keypads, and "HOMELINK" ( a remote built into your car) devices. This is the only slippery slope you could possibly experience.

There are some older openers that have "dip" switches (as mentioned by Tobra). On those units you just have to make sure the ones on the opener and remote match.

Good Luck with however you decide to proceed.
