With parts and everything, the entire project on my car costed $280 including parts and labor. I believe that the US dealers are slower. See I usually pay more becuase I only have one mechanic work on my car, and he has been working on it since day one. He knows me and I know him, but the dealers has him work on other cars while they might be waiting to get a part of something. The Techs at our dealer are really over worked.
