Throttle Body - I suspected my problem was the Throttle body so I called the dealer and asked the price for the part and labor, I was told approx. $450.00. A few days later I went to the dealer to have the Tech II determine the problem and it confirmed the Throttle Body. The mechanic informed me the price would be around $750.00, when I displayed surprise he told me to speak with the Service Rep. He also told me the job would take about 30 mins. I then went to speak with the service rep and he gave me a price of $695.00 and said it would take 2 1/2 hours labor. At this point I informed him that I called 2 days earlier and was given a price of $450.00 and that the service tech said it would take about 30 mins. He did alot of back peddling and said "If that was what I was quoted then he would charge me that and that I was getting a great deal". Frankly I believe he was trying to over charge me and if I had not done my homework before hand I would have been ripped off.
