Bringing the minimum total to 230.44 (shitty disclaimer that my mom signed says on the bottom "... and replace any parts necessary to run this diagnostic.") The best part too is that they didn't even fix the main problem why the fuck she brought it in there and they would have charged like 60 bucks less to do that (which is still overpriced). I'm so fucking pissed right now. What the fuck can they do if I just go over there with extra keys and drive off their lot? PS- How much does this stuff cost? Because this is what they want me to pay. Diagnostic -- 99.00 OPS120 OIL SWITCH W/GUAGE -- 103.69 4307 Platinum (Spark) Plug x6 -- 164.66 175-6114 Premium wire (spark plug wire set/ Ignition wires) --158.44 EK-10T Ever-Wear 3-Step Fuel System Cleaner -- 88.99 TF4670 Oil Filter + 10W30 5 qts. (oil change) --28.99 (wtf?! I just changed my oil last week, fucking scandalous) Grand Total: 643.75 Does anyone know where I can find part listings/prices online? Sort of like a Newegg.com for car parts?How hard is all this stuff to do (are there any good websites for this kind of thing?). edit- Oh yea, and they didn't even check out the broken motor on the window or the fact that there is a screw embedded in the tire. Also, they didn't even put the correct make, model, or year of my car on the printouts, wtf? | ||

As for the printout, that's lolarious. I didn't even know they made spark plugs and wires that cost half that. Fuel system cleaner? LOL, scam every time. Oil change? Well maybe you need to add oil because of the switch they replaced (if they had to drain some), but obviously not change it. If you took the car, your mom would still be liable for the 230 bucks, and they can sue her for that after ruining her credit if she doesn't pay. I'd work out something to pay it off, then get the cheapest spark plug and wire set from autozone you can find for your make/model, and change them yourself. | ||

I already told her I'm not paying shit. I just feel bad that she has to pay it. No one should have to pay such ridiculous costs. Those prices all include the labor fees too, so they would be a bit higher but seriously, so fucking scandalous. I can't seem to find that OPS210 OIL guage anywhere on the net, and I called a place and they couldn't find it either? Wtf is this thing? | ||

So I took the day off and dedicated it to getting this shit handled. I went to the Kragen Auto Parts after calling around a few places and getting prices for the aformentioned. So I bought a set of spark plugs and read the manual for installation in the store, 19 bucks +1 trip. forgot this; Ratchet and spark plug socket, 7 bucks +1 trip. Guy gave me wrong size socket plus some of the wiring was bad so I went back for; Ignition wiring, 21 bucks +1 trip. Sanded down some corrosion replaced 2 wires, checked a spark plug (looked fucking fine). CAR IS GOOD AS FUCKING NEW. Oh, and the Kragen guy gave me a free Pepsi cause "I've been in here all day". So I'm gonna hang on to the ratchet and socket cause I don't have them for some reason and I need them anyways. The spark plugs I don't even need, but I'm gonna hang on to them for a week or two in case it fucks up again. So it basically cost me a grand total of 19 bucks and a few hours. So wtf, Thanks to everyone that helped. PS- All the money I saved I bought some antifreeze and poured it all over my body and danced around the yard. | ||
