Hmm, probably a couple of hundred dollars at the auto shop. Most auto shops require you to use parts they carry or order from their vendors. You can get a new one from an auto parts store, or a used one from the junk yard. If you get it from the junk yard you may have to pull it off yourself, or pay them extra to pull it for you (if they offer that service). Installing it is pretty simple. You will need a torque wrench. Either an inch pound or foot pound torque wrench. You can get the proper bolt torque from the library. The library has repair and overhaul manuals. And a little petroleum jelly works well to hold the gasket in place while installing the pan and gasket. Don't forget to scrape all the old gasket off. Once you have your information and parts together (assuming you have scraped the old gasket already), you can get the job done in an hour easily.What kind of job is it to replace an oil pan on a car?
if you take it to a dealership might be a few hundreds.





if you do it yourself it will be close to 100 just parts and new oil and the gasket.





take it to a regular auto repair shop and you'll be happy
Just go to your local auto junkyard, you might pick up one for about $35. It just involves a lot of bolts. You will need a new gasket too.
