What should the labor cost be to replace the front drive shaft on a 2004 SE II by a reputable garage?

 

It's 8 bolts and nuts
20 minutes
Be sure they replace nylocks

 

Thank you sir, I see you are in Dallas, I am out in Rockwall and my daughter , who will be off to collage next year loves Land Rovers. So we found one for her and want to be sure it properly maintained . With that sayed do you know of a good place we might take it to that is honest and will do a good job?

Thanks, George

 

There is a euro shop in Lakewood (name escapes me, I will look when I get off this airplane and get to my computer)
And good folks at north Texas British (off of 35 up near 635)

 

I'd do it as a Father Daughter project. You only need a 9/16th and 14mm box end wrench and 45 minutes if your new to swapping a drive shaft. It is as dead simple as dusty said.

That said a shop will probably charge you 1 hour at the shop hourly rate.

 

If you take it to a shop, it will be on the lift for less than 20 minutes. But the book says an hour so they will charge you $100. It's not as much fun to lay on the garage floor, but it will still take about half an hour.
