It would be cheaper to get the tools and do it yourself. I bought a used axle from a wrecking yard and only paid $60. The day after I put it in I went autocrossing, making 8 hard corner laps making sure that if it broke (being used), it would happen at the start of the 6 month warranty.

It has been a few years since I have installed axles for someone I'm fuzzy on the price, but expect to pay at least 100 or better just for the axle, an hour or two of labor(~60 hr depending on location).

Probably not much help, but check with a local mechanic. It is a straightfoward and easy job, so check tool prices too

go to napa and get them. cheap and lifetime warranty
and don't pay a shop, replace them yourself. it's very easy. here's how & what tools you'll need: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=382416 you could buy all those tools for less than paying a shop. just get a breaker bar and cheater pipe for the spindle nut.

Yea, Only thing I hated was that they tell you to mess with the lower ball joint and that takes a few hours in itself. Its much easier to drop it from the top. 4 bolts, drops down. Unscrew the 32mm axle and pull it out! I found the most bastard part of the job was getting the axles back in with that clip in. OPh and I paid like $180for re-manufactured axles, but that was a core charge too. I got about $90 back when I took back the old ones.

Last time I bought axles at NAPA the warranty was only a year from purchase. That is from my experience, they may have changed it since then. Call around to parts stores and ask for prices and what the warranty periods are on the parts. I've done them twice in my car it's not that hard of a job if you have patience and a little help.
