    A brand new grease gun and lithium grease costs less than $23.. I think mid 2016 or 17 and so on they only have 2 fittings on the front drive shaft.

    $23 is totally reasonable to charge a person to grease those joints. You are tying up one car bay and one technician for at least 20 minutes by the time they lift the car and remove that plate. $23 x 3 = $69/hr for a car bay and mechanic. That actually is a competitive price.
