Lateral Sewer Pipe Repair via Coating - Pricing?

Through a series of unfortunate events, I've recently learned about a plumbing innovation that repairs and extends the life of old lateral sewer lines (from the house to the city sewer).  

As I understand, the process is called coating or lining, and it involves clearing, drying, roughing, and then coating the old pipe with an epoxy product on the inside.  The product is then dried with hot air and forms a hard, seamless barrier inside the old pipe.  This fortifies the pipe and prevents roots from growing into the joints.  

Has anybody used this process?  If so, what should I expect to pay?  I've been reaching out for bids, but I like to have some kind of reference point for the cost going into it.

@Jesse Smith you need to check with the city to see if they allow this to be done. Some want you to replace it vs lining it. It’s not super expensive to do for residential. Large commercial however is a different story all together.
