I'd prefer to rely on the shop because they can look at the whole bike. If they incorrectly diagnose it, they won't get paid for unnecessary parts/labor.
I wouldn't count on that.

In today's world, carb work is not something that most mechanics are familiar with. Even if they knew what needed to be done, chances are they would not have the proper tools to do it.

From you initial description, I would say chances are good the issues are carb related.

You'd be surprised at how much it would cost to bring your bike in and say "fix it". Having the carbs gone through by ducatiman would be much more reasonable and would get right to the heart of the problem.
