Probably $30-$40 plus the cost of the pots. But the more important question is, what problem are you experiencing that makes you think they need replacing?

Also, avoid Guitar Center. Instead, take it to a regular electronics repair shop. The repair is simple and what you are really paying for is a good solder on the pots. GC associates typically don't hold this skill. Electronics repair shops establish their business on it. However, you will have to research and order the pots on your own for them. You can't expect them to be musicians so it's best to just show up with the parts and point to where they go.

"Solder this thing (hold up pot) into that hole (point to hole where pot goes)".

Or, just leave the old pots in so the tech can see how it's soldered in.
