    Still a lot of coin for the work in my opinion.
    Rough breakdown of costs.
    • Axle seal $30 OEM retail app.
    • Swivel hub seal $50 OEM retail app.
    • 4 ltrs of diff oil $50
    • Maybe 4 hours of work for removal, for cleaning and reinstal, at worst. Say $80 per hour.

    Dont take my calculations as gospel, but I do think you need to get a second opinion. Even with new pads added in, brand depending, Their price is getting up there.
    I could be wrong though. It might just be how much they all charge. I do my own work, well most of it, so this obviously saves me a bucket load of coin. So $700 for that type of work is a bit surprising to me.
    But i would get a second opinion, then you can gauge it from there.
