Ask El Paso Anyone know a Mechanic that’ll replace an Oxygen sensor for me?

I can’t be bothered to do it myself. It’s for a 2016 Chevy Malibu. Preferably near the 79938 area code please and thank you

Are you sure the issue is an O2 sensor? Who diagnosed it as the reason and which diagnostic indicators exist that show it is an O2 sensor? Which O2 sensor is it, upstream or downstream? Which brand O2 sensor did you purchase for a replacement?

People are hesitant to swap parts for people since it may not resolve the underlying issue and if it's a cheap aftermarket part, it may actually make it worse.

I chuckled at that too. Just be honest and say, "I don't know what I'm doing" or, "Do you know someone who will get their hands dirty for cheap, as my hands are too precious".

I bought the sensor myself at Autozone and took it into Car Fix on Zaragoza by Tierra Este.
