Honestly, for $500... I'd probably just bite the bullet and do it. Your time is worth more than that

That sounds high, assuming you mean labor-only. I just did mine a few weekends ago - it's a DIY job if you are OK working with a lot of small fasteners in a cramped space. I didn't track my time but am pretty certain it was < 2 hours not the 3-4 hours this dealer is quoting you.

They broke my car and strung me along for months and lied to me about fixing my car. I ended up fixing it myself out of pocket and learned a expensive lesson.

STAY AWAY

Interesting... I'm curious as to what happened and what the issues were...
