Note that I don't believe that the hard part is the physical R/R of the diff itself, but rather setting up the gears properly, ensuring the gears have the proper backlash and all that other fun stuff.. If it's not setup properly, you will have a noisy diff and could fail early. There are shims that are used to ensure proper backlash.
I don't think you necessarily need a tuner shop to do install the gears, rather you just need someone who's experienced setting up differentials. All differentials are basically the same, regardless if it's GM, BMW, Nissan, or Bugatti.
Anyone should be able to do the R/R of the differential in the car, if you get a complete one and not just the gears.
