Apparently the crankshaft is worn. So a broken chains gonna cost me close to $500 - its a Shimano 105.
Do I trust the shop and go ahead with it? Or should I get a second opinion.
and any idea of how easy it is to replace these bits yourself?

I guess it has a bit to do with the quality of the components, but is the difference that marked?
