Well the quote I got was for what they call a Tier 2 recovery.
$800-$1000; 6-10 workday turn around. Yours looks like what they call a
Tier 3 and there was no estimate (ball park) on the site for that type
of recovery.
Also from the problem I was advised to not try anything else as it
might (probably?) was a head(s) hitting a platter.
I'm still going to look at the services others have mentioned before I
make a recommendation.

In this case it is REALLY important and the drive was the backup but
being used in place-of the main drive when it failed.
