Default Leaky axle seals

Spotted the drips in the driveway this morning and jacked her up. Sure enough there was oily grease around the axle seals. Not sure if it is only one side or both. Looking for a recommendation where this can be fixed and at what cost. Don't want to go to the dealer as I don't have a warranty. I live in Denville New Jersey. Thanks for the help.

I'm not sure if it would be that much difference in price if you went to a dealer.Call ECS, because they are about an hour away from you, or check Konner Chevrolet in Caldwell. I've taken my car there, and they were good, and the price seemed reasonable.

Try Contes Corvettes in Vineland. Their mechanic Mike just replaced the left axle seal on my '03'. Supposedly the left side is notorious for leaking. The price for R/R was about $200 including the seal which was inexpensive. It's a good place to deal with ... good luck!
