1991 Toyota Tercel mileage: 91,000. At my recent oil change today, I was told I had a "tear" in one of my CV boots. Wasn't told which side. Told I could have the boots replaced and get a transmission "flush" for about $550. This was at a Toyota dealership. Is this a little high for replacement parts and labor or is it right on the money? I think I'd like a second opinion on the matter and so did not get the repair work done.

The tear in the CV boot is something that should be taken care of before problems that are more serious occur (CV joint failure). As for the price, check with other mechanics in your area that are recommend by friends.
