What is your question?
I have discovered I have contaminated brake fluid. The calipers where locking up and smoking. What would the likely cost to replace all the seals and affected parts due to the contamination. I have been given an estimate of $1750 for parts and labor.

We would have to see the vehicle to varify the problem but i would think you would be looking at less then that through our shop.
What contaminated your brake fluid? Most GM's use aluminum calipers which could very possibly cause binding.
If contamination is from moisture in fluid from old age, non syhthetic fluid absorbs moisture and needs flushed periodically. If is contaminated from wrong fluid in the system then the estimate I am sure reflects replacing any components that have rubber in them that the wrong fluid affected. The estimate can vary depending on location and labor rates and parts cost. Does seem a bit high though like Protech says.
The work is being done by a Chevrolet dealership service department. I didn't have many options where I'm at. Thanks for the replies
