Default Estimate cost for...

What do we think it would cost to have this done, at a reputable corvette mechanic, of course... as I'm not mechanically inclined, and no time, or tools:

* Diff fluid change
* ZF6 fluid change
* Fuel filter change

Its a shame you dont have the time to work on the car. Those are really cheap and easy if you got the time. I dunno what a shop would charge. It takes me about 30 min to change the tranny fluid. Uhh and it also took about 30 to change the fuel filter. If I had a lift like a real mechnic I could have done these jobs in ten mins. Havent done the diff but I dont think it would take long.

Labor charge shouldn't be much/ many hours if it is your getting screwed.

If the rear diff hasn't been drilled, tapped and plugged, they will need to do that as well. WAY cheaper/easier than pulling the cover.
