Just came from the dealership

cr1scr4c · Sep 15, 2012

So I went to the dealership today so they can check my srs light that's been on forever. They offered to do the complementary inspection. When it was all done they came with this list and prices..

Oil pan gasket = 375
Oil pump seals = 909
Crank seal = 443
Timing belt, drive belts and water pump = 1064
Valve cover gasket = 135
Dist seal = 79
Now is this rape or these the normal prices for stuff like this?
This was in Tampa fl at the dealership.

rape doesnt even begin to decribe it.......

No, that's normal pricing for a dealer, they always try to do that kind of thing when you take them a vehicle. The only thing that is really important is the timing belt, and the entire oil pump could be replaced when you do that since it is right there. Get with a reputable shop and it'll cost you less than half of that.

Are you missing any . in-between those numbers lol :ohsnap:

Yeah, those look to be about right for $80-$90/hr. As has been said, find a reputable shop and those prices will be close to half those prices.

If you were closet to gainesville id do the VC gasket for 20 dollars.

I have a valve cover and distributor seal but the other prices seem ridiculous... Any advice on which to start with?? Which ones are easy DIYers?? If any...

Holy sht! I think you could rebuild your motor at those prices. Definitely swap in a lower mileage one at the very least.

My SRS had been on for like the past 3 or 4 years. I was supposed to take it back to the dealer for the recall to replace the driver seat belt buckle for free, as they said a sensor in there was malfunctioning or whatever, but I never did. And a month ago, it just went away. But I'm just thinking the light just burned out from being on for so long lol.
