I'd say that is more than a little high and if you have the capability of doing any of this yourself, you could save a lot of money.

AMSOIL policies prohibit me from posting pricing online, but as a data point for you, I can get AMSOIL's top of the line fluids/filters for the following:
- Oil/Filter
- Tranny
- Diff
- Power Steering
- Brakes
- Clutch
- Fuel Injector Cleaner
... all shipped to your door for under 20% of the above cost. So they are getting about $700+ for laber. Ouch.
