I collected my car from the garage this afternoon. Finally, it drives, sounds & smells like it should. And considering how much it cost, it damn well better!
Alternator $315.25
Alternator bracket $85.65
Alternator bolt $5
Manifold converter assembly $793.24 (inc. $128.05 labor)
Oxygen sensor (front) $114.91 (inc. $29.55 labor)
Oxygen sensor (back) $119.79 (inc. $29.25 labor)
In all, parts cost me $1,246.69, Labor $187.15, shop supplies $39.99 and sales tax $77.20 for a total of $1,551.03.
On the good side, I'm confident I'll get another five years of reliable use out of this car. As expensive as the maintenance has been this summer, it's still cheaper than buying a replacement car.
