2008 Chevy Aveo Struts are leaking.?

The guy who changed the oil said only a dealer could replace them. Is this true? If so, why? And does anyone have an estimate of how much this should cost?

Update:

Its actually a 2007 and has over 50,000 miles - past warranty. (My other car is a 2008).

    If they were talking about the front struts, they would be correct. The rear struts are available at an auto parts store.

    I don't see why any mechanic couldn't change them. It will probably cost between $300 and $500 per pair.
