Do you have a clean room?
If the person doesn't answer immediately without equivocating, RUN! Just a small bit of dust cantotally ruin your drive. So, the work absolutely needs to be done in a dust free room if opening thedrive is required. Hard drives are vacuum sealed for a purpose.

Clicking hard drives are among the most difficult hard drive recovery problems. Make certain that the person is competent in the most severe types of hard drive failures. If the person you're talking to iscapable of dealing with a clicking hard drive, then he or she should have no problem with almost anyother kind of failure. If your your data is important, you should have no doubt in the capabilities the person doing the work.
Do you charge for quotes?
All serious data recovery services will give free quotes. If you just let the person know what happenedto the drive and the symptoms that it exhibits, they should be able to give you a good estimate as to therecoverability of the drive and the approximate cost. If you have no clue as to what is wrong and theyhave answered the other questions satisfactorily, just send
the drive in
