Inner CV boot tear
So I was informed my inner CV boot is torn. Just curious as to how much I can expect to pay so I dont get ripped off? I have a local mechanic who is suppose to get back to me with an estimate. But he did say it would be cheaper as far as labor goes to replace the axle to. Is this necessary? I may take to Lexus to get an estimate. They actually repaired it the first time at 30k under warranty with just the boot kit.

Axle will run you about $100 for either a re-manufactured part, or a used one. If you'd rather save a couple bucks and just not replace the whole axle, those boot repair kits are about $30 or so on eBay (or about $65 if you want the OEM Lexus kit) and just bring it to your mechanic. Replacing the axle or the boot should be fairly similar in labor (as replacing that boot isn't the easiest thing in the world), your mechanic should give you an estimate on both if he brings the parts. Might want to ask about a quote if you supply the parts as well.
