Backup Camera
So my backup camera started flashing, some times it would work like it should but most of the time it would just flash. I had the dealer look at it while I was in for an oil change. They said it was a bad camera and wanted $1100 to fix it.
Now I don't mind paying for a service but I can't see any way for them to justify that price. The Ford part is $400 and the bezel / emblem is $60, $95 an hour for labor. So it should cost $555 + tax. I ended up ordering one from Camera Source $271 delivered. Took me 10 minutes in the freezing cold to change it out. I just can't see how they wanted $1100 for that.

That's how "Stealership" was coined. The only positive note is you can write reviews for places like that so other people don't go through what you went through.
