They even half-assed the rear axle seal job they did at cost. The front they cleaned everything. The rear I can't tell if it's still leaking or the brake shields are just still covered in the old fresh oil leak. And given their s*** work I have every reason to believe it is still leaking.
 
I’m saying this with all respect, for that money you could have bought tools and parts and done the work yourself.
Without a doubt. But I don't have the time or space, or a shoulder atm to do it. Done it before on my XJ 15 years ago. But I wanted it done right :/ and in time for my kid to drive it this summer.

And half that cost was OEM parts that if I bought myself would have only saved me about $2000. Labor for the motor wasnt ridiculous, the parts other than the motor, plus OEM parts plus clean/sandblast/paint etc etc added up

Lockers work.
Oil filter was put on by an Ape. Took 3 hours to get it off.
Drain plug was also put on by an Ape. Gasket was fused to the pan/paint. 15 min of hand sanding (400 grit covered in oil so took awhile) and got a decent mating surface again. Flushed with an extra liter of oil, just in case.

Thanks everyone for all your help and advice. Much appreciated.
