I just called Midas to find out exactly what the $900 estimate included:
He said the catalytic converter was fine, but everything else is rusted out and need to be replace: the pipe extending from the catalytic converter, muffler, flex pipe, etc.).
Knowing this, does $990 still sound too high?
Also -- am I wrong to think that a dealer will charge much, much more?
Thanks again!!! (MY original email question is below)
---------------------------------------------
I'm hoping someone can tell me if this is completely off base or if this sounds fair:
Approx. 6 months agao I bought a used 2000 9-3. Recently, the car has made a lot of noise and I guessed I needed a new muffler. I went to Midas and it's more than just the muffler - the entire exast systems is pretty much rusted out so all need to be replaced (exhaust pipes/tail pipe/muffler, etc.) I asked the mechanic to show it to me when it was on the lift and sure enough, it's in bad shape.
The estimate the gave me is almost $990 including labor (labor is approx. $150 of the above costs.) Does this sound reasonable? Unfortunately, I have no idea what to expect and wanted to make sure they didn't see a blond girl come in and and say "aha!" : )
Thanks in advance for anyone who might reply!!
Cindy
FYI -- I bought the car used approx. 8 months ago
