If you wanna take them somewhere any local garage can and should be able to do them for you...
As far as you fixing them, its not a hard job, but labour intensive...
Really strait forward...
Here is a link that may help you out... CV Shafts/Boots |

CV joint jobs go for about $400 labor. I say do it yourself, get a set of lock ring pliers, a CV boot clamp crimper and a set of normal tools and you should be able to do it.

if ## axles have already starting cracking, Then ususaly the Axle is on its way out. If ## Tight on cash, replace the torn boot(s) and it might have it live a little longer.
Replacing Axles are Easy as hell, they might be hard for the first timer. but just take ## time. Make notes. and Save ## self 400 bones!

Once a CV has started making noise, it's done for. They don't heal. |
