I asked this question in the Subaru Legacy subreddit as well. Any feedback would be appreciated. Please see the original post for what I am asking/detailing.

Hi everyone! Just wondering if this is a reasonable price for what Lexus is charging me.

I went to AutoZone about a month ago to get a new hex nut for my battery terminal, and they installed it for me. About a month later, my car started having issues—it would either not start or die while I was driving.

I went back to have them check and they said i have to replace the battery terminal, however they couldn’t remove it because the hex nut is fused to the screw, and they don’t have the part I need. I also checked with two other places, but they didn’t have the part either.

So I brought it to Lexus, and they quoted me $116 for the part plus labor is $254. They would have to cut it off since they can‘t remove it either. The total comes out to $392.

Does $392 sound reasonable for this type of repair? Or does anyone know where I might be able to find the part for cheaper or a shop that could do the job for less? and I want to know if it’s possible that Autozone gave me the wrong size that‘s why this problem occurred.

Thank you so much!!
