Chimney crown and top repair? - I don't want to be scammed

Hi,
I know my chimney needs repair, but every time the chimney sweep
guys come to clean the flue, they tell me something different (I
need "Chimney Saver" coating, or I need a "Crown Seal" or something
costing $300+ labor) and I fear being scammed. Can you take a look
at these photos? All opinions welcome.
I'm not beyond a DIY project, but it's kind of high and not too
comfortable on ladder for extended duration.
Thanks!

Looks like it just needs tuck pointing.
Get a couple estimates from guys who do tuck pointing.
I wouldn't want chimney sweepers doing anything but chimney sweeping.
I agree, plus the crown looks cracked in a few places.
