So phone them.

My LBS charges £90 in labour to service the pivots of a multi-link bike like the Anthem. Then you'll need the bearings on top of that, which cost between £30-£50

Buy these Giant Anthem bearings and do the job yourself takes a couple of hours and all you need is a selection of sockets, some washers, nuts and a length of M5 studding. A hammer and a drift might also be useful

Did my mates and after a year they were totally tossed some were rusted solid some of the bearings get sprayed by muck not good design in my opinion they should use bushings in vulnerable spots particulary when some of the bearings have hardly any movement.

Then I'd say they are the wrong shop to do it. If they don't know what the job entails, they've probably never done it before. For a Giant dealer it should be routine.
