I used to think this way too, but then an AutoPro (owned by Napa) shop managed to do about $1500 dammage to my ignition system and they also flooded the hell out of the engine!!! This all happened while they were replacing the brake master cyclinder. Who would've thought?

Oh Jesus. If you feel comfortable paying some random retard to do anything to your car, feel free. $65 will get you just that. Now, instead of trolling to flame people on inconsequential estimates, try posting something relevant. The mechanic that gave the OP an estimate quoted WAYYYYY more than I just did, yet I don't see any comment on that. You might try addressing the original subject matter before acting like a douche.
And more times then not, shops that are really into the wankels are alot more honest. Anyone can claim to know them... ask the mechanic what forums he's on.
Personally, if its beyond your skill level, ask around and get some help from local rotor heads, or even local car clubs. Beer is always cheaper then shop labour. AND you get to learn how to do it for next time.
Edit: Where in canuck-ville are you? I might be one of those rotor heads (self proclaimed of course ;D)

Just sounds like a crappy shop. If they damaged your car, then it's safe to say it's not the first.

I had a TII driveshaft fully rebuilt and balanced in Hamilton for aroudn $200 dollars (posted about it after I had it fixed, don't recall the exact cost) and that included new U-joints with grease fittings.......so they can actually be serviced
I took it in and out myself, as mentioned, because its simple. And I *could* have pressed in new joints, but wanted it balanced because I was working on a driveline vibration (which wasn't the shaft in the end...) and wanted to eliminate that from my list.
You should expect to pay around the same to have yours rebuilt. Much more and you're getting bent over....

Any mechanic can replace a driveshaft and most communities have a driveline shop that specializes in this sort of thing. I'd rather take a car to a driveline shop then a rotary shop for a driveshaft replacement any day. For one thing, the driveline shop knows how to balance the shaft, which is a little important.
