i asked around before and they asked for 10$ cleaning charge and 20$ for the actual welding. This does not include the actual bung btw. I personally just asked a friend to do it. Forget JB weld, just weld it and get it over with already.

Jack stands are cheap...I put 2 jacksstands on the front to have the car lifted so I could get down there. Then I used the jack to jack up the motor...Takes like an hour to do. I did it in 20minutes on my friends car.(floyds13)Buy another oil pan and have it welded so that way it's a quick process... no need to wait and get it welded.
