I took my car up to the Toyota dealer to get some work done because she was sounding/running awful and before I let them take any more of my money I just want to get some opinions of these prices to see if they are insane or not for parts/labor:
What I got done already: Cylinder Gasket $24 Grommet $4 ea (x4) Fipg Oil Pan (not sure what this means) $16 Spark Plugs $10 ea (x4) Resist Cord Set $72 With labor & tax cost me $426 What I still need to get done: Replace drive belts $159 Replace oil pan $250 Replace Distributer O-ring $81 Transmission flush/fluid $70 I dunno how much labor will be yet... |

No my car is way past warantee (94' with 180,000mi). I thought about taking it to a local shop but they cost about the same as the dealer. I trust the dealer a lot more too. Good news though - my engine is still strong as ever. They said it could easily reach 300,000 if I keep taking care of it. YEAH CELICA's!!
