total bullsh!t. my SRS light came off and on a few times and then my check engine light went off. i got it checked out at the dealer and something about a software control module and my SRS system and the seatbelt.

diagnostics = $400

seatbelt = $48

labor = $400

taxes was the rest ............... total bullsh!t.

Whoa that diagnostic and labor cost seems WAY off.

More information? Car, dealer etc.

12/8/2006 3:00:38 PM

You got took yo

12/8/2006 3:24:08 PM

damn, $400 for diagnostic?

12/8/2006 4:14:09 PM

Not necessarily too high for diagnostics, infact the seatbelt being $48 seems way too cheap for most cars. It could've been a car that's got the SRS system integrated w/the OBDII stuff (something quite new-ish). The only red flag for me is that diagnostics was exactly equal to the labor rate.

Year/make/model?

wait

so they did $967 of work without giving you an estimate beforehand? Or did you just tell them "Do what you gotta do to fix it and tell me the cost afterwards."

12/8/2006 8:34:45 PM

they told me the total cost and I was like well go ahead. MY logic was the car was there ... they're my dealership - just get it done and over with, but after paying $1000 bucks and looking at a invoice that makes no sense it baffles me.

12/8/2006 11:00:50 PM

^what kind of car?

12/8/2006 11:13:30 PM

12/9/2006 1:21:34 AM

^i don't think so I am putting my money on a mustang or some domestic car...they rip you off the most.

12/9/2006 11:10:27 AM

scan the invoice and post it, or at least type what it says

12/9/2006 11:12:08 AM

had to be a European car

and why the hell didnt you decline the repair, buy the 50$ part yourself and have a college kit with a socket set put it on?

12/9/2006 11:19:47 AM

How long did it take them to do it?

12/9/2006 11:37:54 AM

they say 3 hours.

12/9/2006 2:40:04 PM

that is $133/hr for labor

no way

12/9/2006 3:00:17 PM

You got hosed

12/9/2006 4:06:06 PM

lol

12/9/2006 4:48:28 PM

you know they are required to give you a written estimate if it's over 300 dollars and you can decline the repair, right?

12/9/2006 4:56:10 PM

^$350
