You must be careful in your choice of services, though.  When I take my
Marines into these 10-minute mindscrub places and elect to go for the "Delux"
treatment (since the price is so low), the techpriests always come out and
tell me that this marine needs a new black carapace, or that marine needs his
progenoid rotated, and the costs just keep going up and up.  Plus they never
reconnect the hoses correctly.  

Despite the cost, it's always worth going back to the dealer, or an authorized
forge world.  They know the equipment, and they do a better job.  Oh, and
ALWAYS get the scheduled maintainance and heresy checks.  It's pricey, but the
marines always run so much better afterwards, and it helps keep the re-sale
value up too!
