I find it hard to believe you need all of that and they didn't say anything about your rear diff bushing. I've done a few hubs, but unless you're hearing a whining or clunking noise, it's probably not bad either. Also, they're charging you for 3 gallons of coolant... You only need one gallon and a gallon of water for a drain and fill. You don NOT need a flush. They're also way overcharging for parts.

Lol buying a build already done car is wayy cheaper than building your own. That being said I've always done my own work
