90,000 miles on the car. clutch has a little over 20,000 miles on it. Axle boots and axle have already been replaced about 5000 miles ago. MOTUL Sun is the oil they are using.

PM me the name of the dealer. There's a few who have ridiculously bad reviews for IMSBR processes.

That said, this job is not about price. If the shop isn't carrying out a pre- qualification, sump inspection and etc, then they should not be doing the job.

Go to the cheapest guy and you will pay for it, dealer or not.

OK....finally able to talk with my regular guy and asked him what is up with the price quote. He apologized in that he is trying to teach his daughter in law how to put together quotes. She had duplicate parts. The price is $1650 for the Ceramic retrofit plus a oil change. He inspected my car in September and took me through what all the IMS involved and what he recommended. I know he has done several of these.

I am going with him.
