Is $3,500 to upgrade 100a to 200a service without permit a fair price?

Project Details

I had 2 licensed electricians come to my house to see if we can upgrade our current 100-amp panel to a 200-amp one. The utility company's service feed line is underground. One electrician claims the existing line is sufficient for 200 amps, while the other says we must trench the yard to replace it.
