Little expensive, no?
So my CEL came on last week and I used my edge to get a reading, it was a p0451 for the evap emissions system. I went to the dealership to get a full diagnostic on it to find out the exact problem because theres too many reasons for that code. After 3 hours of waiting they finally came to me and said theres a problem with my fuel tank pressure sensor(I guess it finds out what gases and vapors are in the tank) and a price to fix it.
$247.81 for the part and about $375 for labor. This is a bit outrageous, right? They said all they have to do is drop the gas tank and replace the part. But over $600 to do that? What the hell. Is this a fair price?

Unfortunately the mechanics have ya by the ***** if ya don't have the means to do your own repairs. Probly not too far off of what a regular shop would charge opposed to a dealership though. If you can't do it or have a buddy help ya, I'd say you don't have a choice though unfortunately

You can check with another shop, the part price will most likely be the same but the labor will be a bit lower. My dealer is $100 / hour and some the local shops are $64/ hour...it might save you $100 as long as its done right

FTP SENSOR ASSEMBLY.........257.23
LABOR TO INSTALL...................247.50

Another local shop told me 188 total for a pressure sensor. Should that fix my light?
