also, get em both done. less hassle for later, bcuz if one is leaking now, the other may not be too far behind....

Sage advice, a good shop will give you a break on the price if you've done the basic prep work for them.
Also- don't be afraid to bargain a little. If they did a good job, quickly for a decent price-don't be a dick but if it's a little steep ask them what they can do for you if you get something from their gear or parts section. I saved 50 bucks on a tire change one time by buying a helmet and talking them into a discount on the work plus gear. Stressing that you're a loyal frequent customer helps.
Obviously you end up spending more money but if it's gear you need anyway...
