Flowmastered87GL Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 $75 to install an O2 sensor?? I remember doing one in Jason's driveway in like 10 minutes or so :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkiller Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 well, that included his normal $40 to pass emissions, but at that point i was willing to go the waive route even... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 You would have had to spend over $150 to get the waiver. well, that included his normal $40 to pass emissions, but at that point i was willing to go the waive route even...

NorthWet Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 He knows how much the waiver cost... after dealing with emissions for several days I don't believe he was a happy camper. (I've been there, too.) That "new" O2 sensor (installed recently by another mech) that S.Sea guy pulled out did not look anything like new. And, amazingly, a brand-new-out-of-the-box Bosch O2 sensor worked wonders! He did seem VERY happy with this S. Seattle guy, who, BTW, can issue waivers.

He's saved me over $1000 in un-necessary costs over the last 10 years and we never had to waiver the car. When he was done, it passed.
