Fair to charge $214 for Crank Shaft Oil Seal minor leak

[Athrin]

Hi all,

 

Im driving a Apr 06 1.8manual civic FD1.

I went to do my 70k servicing at Spark Car Care at Braddell on 29mar tuesday.

 

They said there's a minor leak at the bottom of my Crank Shaft Oil Seal

& it will cost $214 & about 5-6 hrs to repair/replace.

The service advisor say it usually happens when the car reaches around 100k or >100k

 

is is fair or normal to charge $214 for Crank Shaft Oil Seal minor leak to repair/replace?

Any cheaper & reliable workshop to repair/replace?

 

tks for all your help

5 - 6 hours to fix oil seal of crank shaft is too long I guess. Go get

another quote from other w/s, you will be surprised at the price.

Very much depend on the 'make'.....some car need to strip down many parts before reaching the defected part

The fees very much depend on the time spend for the repair.

Front, rear, or both crank seals?

 

P.S. I'm not sure what the market rate is, but just to make it easier, the front seal is where the belts are connected to, the rear is on the opposite end which will require removal of the gearbox to change it.
