1998 Subaru Outback 4 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic

Subaru dealer quoted me $300 to change leaking valve cover gaskets. I thought this was pretty steep. How much should it really cost? Thanks.

Hi there,

Wow, well if that is the going price there I will move my work shop to your location, I would get a price from an independent mechanic, you can use after market gaskets with out any problem and they should take less than 1 Hr to replace as I am in Australia I am unsure of the actual prices but doing a quick conversion I would be saying they should be doing it foe a lot less.

Unless hes replacing the gasket with gold leafs hes overcharging you. Should not be that much. 1 hour labor max.

I would like to see what hes charging you and for what.
