Need a better Quote for 60k Maint. & Axle Replacement

Ok, where do I begin!

I just found out both of my drive axles have to be replaced. I did a simple test by removing my front and wheels and jerking against the cv joints and I found about .5" play, whichs explains my front end vibration. Other test where performed to rule out Tires and alignments.

I got a quote from NAPA service center to replace both with new parts and it includes labor for about $500 plus tax. Not sure what parts they will use but I wanted to use axles from raxles.com, about a $100 peice and try to find someone to do the labor.

I got a quote from Acura of Amherst, NY for the infamous 60k maintenance for about $750 plus tax. I know what it includes and this service interval used to be priced at $600. My GS sedan, automatic has 83K miles.

I am looking for shops that can give me a better price. I don't mind traveling an hour or so to get the job done somewhere else.

Looking for recommendations on mechanics or repair shops?

Thanks,

Hugo

You can take it pretty much any ASE-certified mechanic. I'm sure these one in your area.

As for the axles, do a search.

Also, for 60k service, I don't remember it being particulary involved, I'm pretty sure it's all do-able by yourself.

Replace air filter
Replace the spark plugs
Replace the fuel filter
Service the cooling system (drain, flush, fill)
Replace the brake fluid
Change transmission/transaxle fluid
Change differential lubricant

Yup... The 90k service is the killer,.
