Prices seem pretty reasonable for a workshop to me. Vectose, are you angling for a rank change? I'm thinking 'tightarse' might be applied here :lol: Or "I can get it cheaper" :lol: *insert ass crack gif here*

Peache, you can do a fairly simple diagnostic test to see if your 02 sensor is gone. It's not something your mechanic would normally pickup on & it doesn't throw an engine light until it's completely dead.
