New wiring? Why, what's wrong with it? Anyway, most folks who repair guitars either charge by the hour or the job. Just find out what the rate is and what you might expect when you take it in for an estimate.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.

You can buy a Squire for not much more than that tho so I would get an estimate first.

The knobs? DO you mean the potentiometers? The little rods that the knobs sit on?
If that's the case, it could be that the knobs were pulled off, or fell off, then the nut that secures the pots could have come off and the pots simply fell inside the cavity.
If that is the case, it should cost a few bucks but not a lot. The guy would have to remove the strings (or loosen them a lot) to pull the pickguard off. They should be attached to the pickguard. I've done some minor work on Strats before and it shouldn't take too long to do it. If the pots are gone, dude, something was seriously wrong!
