Been Called "Flash" Since I Was A Kid!
Today, I brought my 2006 Toyota Corolla in for a recall to replace the Engine Control Module. The work took about one hour and the ECM was replaced. I went for a walk to kill time and they called my cell. They said my accessory drive belt had numerous cracks and needed to be replaced. I asked him how much that would cost. The answer? $150! I said "Hell no, not for that price!"
I figured some of the TGT members would know if they were trying to gouge me. I bought the belt a while back and keep it in the trunk for emergencies. The belt was $28 after market. Is there anything about that belt replacement that would justify a $150 charge?
It's been my experience that the flat belts always have some cracks in the ribbed inner part. Isn't that normal? The car has 68K miles on it.
