Leaking Fuel Lines

Good old Michigan....warm weather. Getting new Pilot Super Sports put on the LNF today. Supposed to be a good day.

Tech discovered my fuel line/evap line leaking just in front of the rear driver side wheel, at the clip where it turns up and heads to the gas tank. Quoted me 750 to replace both lines (350 labor, assuming dropping the tank, and 400 parts). In my head and experience I'd figure 3 hrs labor and maybeeee 200 parts? 450-500 total?

Told them that I was going to get a second opinion. Its not dripping, just a little fuel residue. Keeping an eye on it, going to get another look at it Friday. Heard this is fairly common?

What do you guys think is a reasonable quote? Independent shop. I'd do it myself but dropping the tank while on jackstands does not sound like a fun time....

Michigan people, good mechanic in Canton, Westland, Plymouth area? From the east side and trying to find a good local guy, haven't had good luck yet.

Found a local guy. 375. Replaced both lines from the tank up to under driver side (Where the lines run flat). Easy enough.
