Oil Leak...is mechanic overcharging?

[DocuDude]

Hi,

I have an oil leak in the rear main/oil pan/ seal/drain plug and cooler....though these are more like seeping.

The real dripper is the oil pressure switch. Mechanic is charging $130 to replace and repair the oil pressure switch.

Does this sound fair to you?

thanks

oil pressure switch (oil pressure sender) is about $70 new and it takes about 2 minutes to RR. I will send you a good used one if you pay the postage. I get them from mid 80's celicas its the exact same sender. Junkyard price is about $5.00. $130 seems to be way outragous for just the sender.
