Catalytic converter replacement cost?
Wolfdog2314:
Thought I was having a cat problem on my ecoboost f150, quote was 750$ (parts/labor) for one. Had them tested tho, and both were still good.

Yah, we may be getting fleeced. Got a new loaner while they do it. We are taking care of grandkids and this is only rig wife can drive. On top of her trying to handle poa and needs of sister in hospice. Couldn't see doing everything in timely and convenient fashion. I'll wait to share the damages when I get final bill. Between our 2 rigs have over 290,000 miles logged.

^^^^this. Dealers don't even want to service 12 year old cars.

We service 12 year old cars all day long. Not sure where you’d get that idea from. My average vehicle is 6 years old and roughly 67k miles I’d guess. We track it and I can verify tomorrow. Whatever dealer you’ve experienced who doesn’t want to service 12 year old vehicles has a screw loose.

Nobody rebuilds engines anymore. It’s wayyyyy more cost effective to just replace it. And the warranty is better.
We’re $225/hour except for maintenance and brakes and some other lighter stuff like that. Labor is reduced to stay competitive. We’re scheduled 42 cars a day 3 weeks out right now.

For windshield replacement, I go with a zero deductible on my Comprehensive insurance costs about $9.00 more a month for both vehicles. Picked up a nice crack in my windshield in September. Two hours in a Safe Light Auto Glass and out the door at no cost to me.
Windshields are crazy expensive now.
