Well On Thursday 7/17, I got my 2005 LS serviced for the first time since I got it in May. It was making a clunking noise in the front suspension and he ran the codes. He told me it needed a stabilizer bar and it needed all four new O2 sensors. I knew all about the O2 sensor codes. He told me it would be 286.00 to replace the bar. I said OK. So I look it up on Ebay and the part is $26.00 for the pair, He told me we would have to talk about the O2 sensors when I pick up the Car. He charged me 146.00 for that 26.00 piece and 140.00 to install. Then he tries to set me up for the next soaking…..
When I get there he tells me that the O2 sensors would cost about $100.00 a piece and that it would cost about $150.00 for him to put them in, he quoted me 600.00. That’s when I pulled out my Ebay print out of the O2 Sensors, and showed him the price of 16.00, he turned red, then I showed him the pictures of the $26.00 stabilizer bar he put in, he turned redder….. He tried to charge me $400.00 for a $64.00 part.………..I know you get what you pay for, yea right, I’m not trying to keep this car forever…
Caveat emptor
He got me for about 100.00 bucks, he won’t get me again!!!!!
