As the title says, I plan to replace my expansion tank and flush the coolant this week before the damn thing blows on me which its known to do (according to many posts about it here). My dealer is asking $240 for everything. Think thats a fair price? I really don't think its that bad of a deal. Thoughts?

Sounds fair for $240 parts and labor.
