The quote from Apple isn't too bad. The iMac has specific hardware requirements so it might be easier (and faster) if they can do it while you wait. I know you don't want to hear this but if the drive is corrupt, which is sounds like it is, you're going to lose files. The only way to find out is to plug it in to another computer or a reinstall on your machine and attempt to recover the old disk.
I had to have a drive recovered earlier this year for a co-worker who neglected to back up their files. The recovery company (in Toronto) has a policy that you only pay if they recover files for you, so they sent me a list of all the files they found (which was maybe half) and we had to pay about $1200 including an external drive to have them recovered.
