Depends how much you trust the shop to know exactly how to do it and torque everything to spec. Mine was butchered once at first, then redone the same day because it leaked immediately. It leaked again after two months, then again after two months, and yet again after two months. I then finally took it to a specialist (should have in the first place but I had warranty on the first job) who told me the bolts weren't torqued to spec and they were coming off from vibration. Finally it looks like it's fixed and done right, but the specialist shop also noticed glitter in the oil filter and I had to redo my rod bearings. Had I driven for 500 miles, the rods would have spun. I doubt the original shop even primed anything. All this because I decided to also do the gasket before it leaked, so it was fine before all this.
Lesson learned, pay the extra in labor to someone who actually knows what they are doing.
