Took my 4Runner in for a state inspection. They said I needed a new serpentine belt, a couple of small lightbulbs replaced (the ones over top the lic plate to illuminate it), wiper blades, and some brake pads plus the cost of the emissions test and state inspection/stickers. Toss an oil change on top of that. Their estimate?? About $850! I started looking at the itemized estimate. About $20 in labor to replace the two lightbulbs?? Yeah, right. Over $25 in labor for wiper blades?? Come on, people! Give me a break!
Told them NOT to touch it. Of course they try to pressure me on the state inspection not passing and the serpentine belt being a hazard. Drive to to a local shop. All of that work is now done. Final bill? $226.93.
