If you can work on a bike, you can mount your own skis. Only then will you know for sure:

1. Your holes are drilled true (assuming you know how to build a guide or have a press);
2. Your holes were filled with marine/waterproof epoxy to prevent pull-outs and keep your core water-tight;
3. Your skis were stored upside down once mounted for 24 hours to set epoxy at inlet of screw holes;
4. Your skis actually were mounted boot centre with the heel piece in a mid-position

It's utterly remarkable how many shops just hammer them out with a jig as the saviour to mankind.

That said, I've heard good things about Crystal Glide as well. Urban Alpine in Squamish is another good local shop that will spend time with your gear.
