Reasonable alternator and fan clutch replacement cost
Hi all,
My LS400 needs a new alternator and fan clutch. Estimate as follows:
Alternator $525
Fan Clutch $380
Can anyone tell me if these are these reasonable rates?

the alternator is a bit too much for something so simple to replace. u could rent tools from autozone and it'll be done. the fan clutch is a little more difficult as more stuff needs to be removed.
www.lexls.com has a part that tells u how to remove the alternator, i think in the timing belt tutorial.

Seems a little steep to me. I could get both of those shipped to my house for around 300$ (34$ core charge included) off rockauto, and the alt and fan clutch aren't that hard to do (at least compared to doing the cam seals I did yesterday). That being said, I haven't paid anyone to do work on my car in years, so I have no real concept of what people charge except the hilarious 700$ quote from Firestone to replace my radiator.
