When I drove in, I wasn't having any problems with the car except the "Security" light wouldn't go off. It ran fine and both key fobs worked fine. Now the dealer is telling me the BCM was bad and I need a new one and two new key fobs at a total cost of nearly $1,000. I feel like I'm being robbed. What should I do?
*sigh, if only I was a mechanic i'd be rich* You should go to different mechanics and get estimates. This price sounds a little high but so are the key fobs, i've heard of people paying $250 for 1 key fob. I would suggest searching the internet for cheaper parts, buying them youreself, then having a mechanic install them for you, that's what I do. If the dealer has to order them, they mark the price up on them. I sent you a link for a great website that offers new parts very cheap.
