Default Replacing the ABS Control Module

2000, A4, 95k miles, 2.8, manual
I'm being quoted $1,900 by the dealer to fix replace the ABS Control Module and flush the system.
Is this a fair cost, or can I get it done as well from an independent service place?
Thanks,
David

Default there are better ways to address this issue

you can get a factory rebuild kit or get a rebuilt unit from moduleMaster.com for ~300 bucks

I'm sure others will chime in with the details
