Drive Shaft Rip Off

I have just been quoted by Lynch Imports (Mazda Dealer) in Daytona Beach, FL $981.10 for replacing both front drive shafts!
Is it me or is this unbelievably expensive? I expected around $500 and have researched on this forum and found some of you having it done for less than $250!
Any suggestions?

Agreed.

You made an error in your post. You put "Mazda dealer" and "unbelievably expensive" in seperate sentences...
I agree with going to Autozone. I got both axles for less than $140 total and had them in, in just a few hours. The passenger side didnt want to click IN, and the driver side didnt want to come OUT, but other than that it is a pretty painless operation.
