Prices of labor? Indiana?

Black09BMW · 01-09-2016, 11:39 PM

I recently had my oil changed at the stealership in Fort Wayne Indiana and they have told me that I have a small leak from my oil filter gasket. They told me it was going to be about $400 for parts and labor. I'm just wondering if that is outrageous for the job or reasonable? I looked it up and it seems like an easy job I'm just always busy and don't have a lot of free time to do things on my own. Any information would be great thanks!

If that's the oil filter HOUSING gasket that would be the best price I've ever seen from a dealer.

$92/hour at an independent shop here on the southside of Indianapolis.

Sound about right. DIY will cost you ~$30.
