When I look online, most people (and web sites) are saying that it should cost around $200 and it's mainly just an inspection.

All the places I called made a point of saying they'll do a "differential service"... maybe that costs a lot?

Checking the manual, it looks like the service is:

- Replace oil, oil filter
- Replace "air cleaner element" (air filter)
- Replace brake fluid, clutch fluid
- Replace rear differential gear oil (every 4 years or 60k miles, and it's about 4 years)
- Inspect drive belts, fuel systems, lines, connections, cooling system, hoses, connections
- Rotate tires

Is it reasonable for all this to add up to over $700?

Thanks for any feedback.

That's about 3-4 hours of shop time plus parts, oil, etc. so not out of line.
