Getting old but not past it

I have asked two LBS so far to put a 11-40/42 cassette on my Specialized Roubaix and both refused to it on the grounds that it is not compatible with my Shimano 105 derailleur. I suggested putting a wolf tooth to increase the length but they still won't do it. Yet, when I researched it on YouTube, it seems that a few cyclists have done it with no problems afterwards.
I don't trust myself to do it so why won't a professional bike mechanic give it a go?
The reason why I want to do that is because I would like to take this particular bike when I do the C2C next June as I believe some of the hills are pretty steep.
