Default broken gears

i had a set of richmond 410 gears in the stock 10bolt and i broke like 4 or 5 teeth of the ring last week. i called 2 shops 2 get an estimate on how much it would be to clean out the rear of the metal and to put a set of 410s back in and i am getting a ballpark of $1100..is this price high? should i spend this money on the stock rear or just put a 12bolt in because in the near future i have a feeling the 10bolt is gonna give out on me. i live in the baltimore area so if anyone has a suugestion on a shop thet could refer 2 me it would be appreciated.

either get a 12 bolt or step down in gear size...you'll just strip the next set of 4.10's

How many miles did you have on the 4.10's and who put them in for you? Investing $1100 in a 10 bolt... yeah, not only is that rediculous but thats half the price of a 12 bolt / 9 inch.

That price is absurd. Shouldn't cost more than $400, if that.

No it is not something you can do in your garage if you are not familiar with the way it works. Pinion depth, backlash etc are incredibly vital.
