Sorry. I wasn't trying to run down businesses it was just the way the gov does their base contracts and have a captive clientele. Guess I need to avoid the rants from now on.
They were going to get the part from Oreillys. Dealer wasn't open on Sunday anyway. She ended up getting the Blue streak one that Oreillys recommends for $87+ which was the same price that came up for my local store. Denso was a little higher and there were much cheaper ones and maybe they didn't stock the Denso. They were upping the price by an additional 150% above that. Then the hour minimum charge on top of that. If she had gone in with a blown fuse they would have charged her the $100 diagnostic plus the $160 hour minimum plus the price of a fuse. Somehow I don't think anyone here on this site would charge one of their customers $260 to change a fuse or tell their daughter to go ahead and pay it. Same thing if it was throwing a code for a dirty air filter I don't think anyone here would charge $260 to change it. On the other hand I know there are parts that can throw a code that can take a full hour or more to change it which I understand and don't have a problem with.
I know how the code chasing goes. I've changed more than one rusted in O2 sensor after crawling under a car skinning knuckles and hoping the jack doesn't give out only to figure out it is something else. I don't know what diagnostic equipment that place used but I know the dealerships have diagnostics that go through the car computer and can identify a bad relay, etc. That can't be done at a parts store and it is worth it for some problems. Not sure the parts stores can read abs codes either.
I remember a few times getting Prius oil changes at the dealer. They come to the waiting area holding a cabin filter saying it is dirty and needs changing. How much I ask and they say the filter is $15 and $20 for labor to change it. Well they have already taken it out so why are they tacking on labor for a new one. I tell them thanks but I do my own air filter changing and they put it back in at no charge. go figure.
