It varies with what part of the country you live in. Call a couple of local garages and get estimates. Goodluck. Joe
The cost is also going to depend on the make/model of your vehicle and other repairs that may be necessary. Cheaper repairs may not include resurfacing or complete diagnostics, so cheaper is not always better. If you are not going to consider doing the job yourself then call around to a few "brand name" mechanics and then a few small ops mechanics to get a good idea of what the repair will cost. Ask them whats included (no $urprises later) and always assume that if they will not take a little time to talk to you about it then they may not take the time to double check their work or do it right the first time. There will certainly be at least one mechanic shop that will have complete answers, offer a willingness to help and explain the process, and fair prices too.
