I'm not sure what a "wrap" is, but if is the lace up type, you can do it yourself pretty easily on the car. If what you have requires wheel removal, do a search, there is a lot on this. Apparently it sometimes is a real PITA! Maybe you will get lucky.

I have a very helpful PDF file on removing the steering wheel; I used it myself and have also sent it out to dozens of members here upon request. If you'd like to have it, shoot me a PM with your email address and I'll send it to ya.
