Original estimate= Driver side power window does not operate Price quote $68.00 2. Since they were not able to schedule the maintenance at that time a date for repair was set up. 3. Took the vehicle in on the scheduled date and added for them to check the right inside door handle since it was binding. This increased the quote to $136.00 which I approved. 4. I returned to pick up the completed service call and was informed that the window motor was faulty and would cost $195.00 for the motor but hey only had to lubricate the handle on the right side. I again OKd the cost of the motor since I had to have an operational drivers side window. 5. When I picked up the finished vehicle I was informed that the cost was $168.00 for repair of the drivers side window' $68.00 for lubricating the right side door handle and $195.00 for the motor. 6. I believe the original quote of 138.00 to repair both the handle of the right side and the window of the left side should have covered the labor and the only additional charge should have been for the cost of the motor. I would appreciate your opinion on these charges.

The independent shop I used to work at would do that truck for about $240 labor plus parts, which should be less than $200 I am sure... Shop around, I am sure you can find something in this range....
