Default Valve guide replacement and grind.

My machine shop told me that the valve guides on my head (d16z6) are worn and need replacing. They also said it was MANDATORY that a valve grind be done. They want to charge an extra 300 for the whole process. My question is, if I pick up a new set of guides, and have my friend mechanic install them, is it absolutely necessary to do a grind? Sorry for the noob question, but for some reason I don't completely trust the machine shop, because they want to make a sale..
