it is A LOT of work to reseal that. mine was leaking as well as from the oil cooler o-ring and valve covers. not 8k though...go somewhere else, and fix other things while you're at it to save in repeat labor. according to https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...ml#post5103018 the engine needs to be pulled out to reseal this pan, so they're probably quoting you an engine out procedure.
i would recommend replacing the oil cooler o-ring, reseal upper, mid, and lower pan gaskets, and replace the oil cooler line o-rings if you have some miles on your engine. mine all failed/leaked/broke/hardened at/by 115k
i had all above done, with head studs, and lifter buckets and spent 5,500 in parts and labor through a buddy's shop. you won't have to do as much as me, but they'll have to drop the subframe a few inches to get the pan out. my mechanic said it was easy and he didn't pull the engine.
