That's definitely high. Mine were about $1,800 at a Porsche dealer. They would be even less at an independent mechanic. Even if you add in a new starter, I would think it would be less than that, like Pops said...

Isn't there a DIY somewhere? I remember seeing it but cannot remember where.
Just do it yourself and save a ton of $$. Besides, it gives a great sense of achievement... and an excuse to stay away from the wife/family
Also, Excellence magazine had an article on how to do this as well (again, cannot remember which month it was. Getting old sucks!).
A friend of mine did his coolant pipes replacement and it cost him $1400. So, $3000 is a lot unless he is installing pipes made of fancy metal. Replacing the starter should not cost any extra since you are already there when replacing the pipes.
