Default TJ Roadworthy - is my mechanic honest?

Hi guys,

Thought I'd double check something with you. Went to a mechanic for my 2006 TJ to get a roadworthy, and he came back with a quote for $1500!

There are a few minor things on there that I could probably do myself to save some coin(e.g. headlight), but wondering what everyone elses thoughts are?

Reckon I should just cough up or get a second opinion?
  • Windscreen - $270
  • Steering wheel grip - $90
  • Damper replacement due to weeping - $200
  • Tie Rod End Pitment Arm (not draglink) - $250
  • Tie Rod End Tow Adjustment - $250-350
  • Engine Oil Leaks (Rocker Gasket) - $180
  • Tighten handbrake - $100
