If you wanted to, its not really hard to replace a saggy door. You can save yourself some money and go on TGO and learn how to do it yourself. Just my 2 cents. BTW

Welcome to the club!
It's pretty easy to fix yourself, you can pick up some fresh hinges and bushings from most parts sellers pretty cheap.
Where in North Jersey are you located?

fixing the saggin doors on the monte i built was a bitch. but i think the camaros are usually better. I believe the monte doors are a bit heavier. On my monte not only did i wear through the bushing, it wore down the pin and the actual hinge itself. the hole on the hinge was actually oval and even just swapping in a new pin and bushings wouldnt do anything. I found a brand new hinge and those go for $115, but i wasnt about to pay that. Instead i had a professional welder(family friend of my GF) weld up the hole completely. Then i measured it all out and drilled a new, round hole through the hinge where it was welded over. I then installed new pins from autozone, and now it works great, No sagging at all.

I saw some cool greasable hinge rebuild kits for 3rd gens. Year One carries them, I think.
