My Impreza was having some serious problems and stalling out so I took it to the dealership to have it looked at. I have an oil leak also so I just figured it would be best to take it in and have the pro's look at it.
Well it turns out the stalling problem was my MAF sensor and they want $470 bucks to replace it, WHAT THE FUCK?! It's only an hour of labor which is practically a ripoff since they just replace the sensor and reset the ECU. So what I want to know is how much is a MAF sensor by itself? Has anyone bought one before?
I'm gonna check with Autozone later today to see if they have them, this is just insane. The shop wants around $450 to fix the oil leak which I think is reasonable since the average person can't tear apart their block, but I just can't fathom paying $470 for some tech to replace a sensor and disconnect my battery for 10 minutes.
*sigh*
Maybe I'm overeacting but this is why I started learning about fixing cars in the first place, dealerships are like drivethrough's.. they always get you where it hurts.
