My Santa Fe was running hot, so I took it in only to find that the coolant was dry. Added a gallon of coolant and it slowly leaked out (took about 3 weeks). It turns out that the rear gasket is leaking. I received an estimate of $1300, parts and labor.

Is this fair?

thats a fair price but if you shop around im sure you could get one about 100-200 bucks cheaper but 1300 is a fair price.
