Default Computer replacement

My '97 Cavalier has been diagnosed as needing a new PCM computer. The shop quoted between $400 and $600, plus another $75 to have the new unit flashed. I can buya rebuilt unit for $100 and install, but it will still need flashed. Apparently, only a dealership can do this. The computer fits several different GM models. Could any GM dealer flash this unit, or must it be a Chevy dealer?

Any helpful advice for replacing a computer?
Thanks for any help.
