$1,100 to replace a heater hose (rant)

Shame on Ford and all auto manufacturers. They over engineered the heater hoses just to rob people blind. Greedy people.

I had a cracked heater hose. I work every day and don't have a garage, so I dropped it off at a shop. $1,100 for a new hose. All because of the greedy people at Ford.

I'm old enough to remember when heater hoses were like $30 and you could pop them on and off EZ. Young people are absolutely cooked if this is their future. $1,100 is a lot of money for such a simple repair.

Yikes! Did you get a breakdown of the repairs? I wonder how much of that was labor.
