Beware of comparing apples to oranges quotes. Beware comparing labor costs from one location to another unless you are willing to move the car. Beware comparing buying a part from a supplier and the cost of the same part from a mechanic with his overhead in ordering and guaranteeing the part.

Understand what the pre-qualification is and what condition the engine/car will be in should the engine fail pre-qualification. Will the pan be reinstalled, the seals guaranteed, the oil changed, the filter changed. pre-qualification isn't just a "look at the filter" anymore.
