Default Has anyone changed a master cylinder unit themselves?

I have a 2000 GS300 master cylinder unit that needs to be changed and a mobile mechanic said he could do it at my house. Is this something that is easy to change and doesn't need a garage car lift involved? Just wondering if I should have this guy come out. I don't want him saying later I need to lift the car and you got to take it somewhere else. He said he was a 19 year Master Lexus mechanic and did many of these before and the job will take him 2 hours at my house. He has moved on and now does mobile Lexus repair. Does this sound right? Please reply.

I don't know how hard it is. But i can say that there is more money your own business then working for someone. Just ask him for some references.
