Default CV Joints

I have a 1997 Honda Accord S.E. and I was told that the C.V joints need to be replaced. I wanted to know what is the best way to go about getting them done. I can either get the remanufactured ones or I know new ones are available as well. Also how much does something like that cost. I don't do my own work so I would have to pay a mechanic to do the work as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A simple looksie will tell you if the need to be replaced or not.

- If you look at the axle, can you see a boot torn? They can tear and sling grease all over the suspension and inside of the wheel?
- Do they click when you turn?

You can get some at a parts store for about $65, if you buy online you will probably have to send you old ones back to get remanufactured and resold.
