Catalytic converter replacement cost?
Ghost Hunter:
Took 2012 Forester into dealer for a few services items. Got some quotes that got my heart pumping. :yike: The catalytic converter, front control arm bushing replacements, and windshield are big ticket items. Appears I am spending a down payment on a new model. :dunno: Thinking about a 'gofundme' page :dunno: :chuckle:.

Spill the beans...how much?
My step son works in a garage. They charged a guy $3000 to replace the blend door(hot air/cold air dealio) on a newer Chevy Colorado. Complete dash removal....lots of labor to change out a $40 part
jackelope:
Don’t do a windshield at a dealership. Call a glass guy.
Don’t do a cat at a dealership. Take it to an exhaust shop.
Both will be exponentially cheaper away from the dealer.
(I’m a dealership service manager)

That seems excessive, even at Bellevue prices.

I’d say essentially anything you can do outside of a dealership, do it outside the dealership. I priced a spare rim for an extra spare. Dodge quoted me 2k. I got it at schwabs for 300.
