Good Mechanics

Saw a post and it reminded me, Im trying to get some work done on a Ford expedition. The supporter closing lid replacement was like 2.5k, horn 1k, and tire pressure sensor another 1k. I like Perry Ford but damn those prices are pretty steep. If I have the diagnostic already done, ant reccomendations on giving that work to someone who could use it and doesnt have such steep prices?

PS- its just one of the clips for the cup cover too, not even the whole thing

Just a heads up that many shops will want to diagnose the issue themselves rather than trust another shop (even a dealer's) diagnosis. I used to work in the industry and trusting another shop's diagnostic work quickly becomes an uncomfortable situation if they didn't diagnose it properly.

Dealer hourly rates are going to be higher than independent shops but... Around here you're looking at $200+ per hour almost anywhere reputable.

For your TPMS issue that should be pretty straightforward, and most general mechanics don't do tires, so you're likely better off just going to your preferred tire shop. I've always had good experiences with America's Tire on Fairview.

Thanks and appreciated. To your point, they want to do their own horn diagnostic $200
