94 VR commodore
My first post on here and not sure where to post this but I need a new harmonic balancer for my 94 vr commodore and have got a quote for just over $600 dollars, to me this seems a bit much, I was thinking it would be about $400.
Anyone have it done recently? And how much should I be looking at to have it done?
I'm not mechanically minded enough to do it myself and also not currently able to do it myself because of a broken arm.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

About 40mins to change over and about $220 for a Powerbond balancer. Are we talking V6 as V8 will take longer possibly.

It's a V6. I thought $600 is a bit much. From looking at parts and factoring in labor I can't really see it costing anymore than $400 max!

Seal $25, balancer say $230, 45mins labour tops $90. So yeah not even $400.
I can swap one in 40mins.
