When the bill get that high, I never hesitate to tell them I will do some checking and get back to them.
My recent experience was a lower radiator hose which left me feeling hosed!
The first estimate was around $600 which left me stunned!
As it was only a small hole and leaking slow enough, I took it to other shops and got estimates from the 5-600 range down to $200 and change for doing the same job!
It did turn out to be a difficult job as that car required the finder to be removed to get access!
But it does pay to check on prices when it is not a high tech job of any sort. One place quoted the hose alone at near $100! That seemed a bit high for a Ford Focus .....
