Nice idea , however costs make it unfeasable,
Somebody can I'm sure post the costs of the Shuttle Missions that have recovered/repaired satellites. I suspect each mission cost many tens of millions of dollars. No unmanned mission has ever retrieved a satellite.
...especially one that is likely leaking some pretty nasty stuff.
