A "normal" complete overhaul should include general cleaning, including the keys, new pads, corks, regulation, bore oiling, lubrication, tightening of socket rings (if needed) and perhaps a few other things I forgot. I paid $180 for that recently. I don't know how typical that is. It might or might not include removing slight imperfections in the wood but it would certainly not include replating of keys. That's a different ball game.
I chose a technician within driving distance. If you have to send it somewhere, there'll be additional costs and risks, of course.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

(By the way, I was very happy with the quality of the work. If you happen to live in New Jersey, please e-mail me and I could get you my tech's contact info.)
