I feel cheated, but can somebody tell me if this is legit ...
I brought my 99' 9-5 in for the 60K service. The did the following for $685:
- 1 Oil filter
- 1 Seal Washer
- 4 5W30 DriveCleanB
- 1 Air Filter
- 1 Fresh Air Filter
- 2 Washer
- 4 Spark Plug
- 1 AntiFreeze
- 1 Castrol GTL Ma Fluid
- 4 ATF 1 Qt WARR
- 1 Washer Fluid/Gal
Then they said that I needed a new alternator and charged me 3 hours of labor to replace the Alternator and Pulley Tension Belt. They charge me $751 for this. $416 for the alternator???? Sounds crazy to me, but can this be right????
By the end of the day I was out $1535. If every repair bill is like this, I might as well buy a new car. Probably not another Saab :(
