1. How much should a Starter replacement cost at the dealership?
My car would not turn over after stopping to run into the post office... so I had to have it towed to the local VW dealer. It is now fixed & I will pick it up tomorrow- and they are saying the price is $1150. (Does this seem high?)
Just the diagnostic charge was around $350 (a little over 2 hours @ $160/hour)... Should it take over 2 hours to diagnose a bad starter... on a car that won't start??
2. Separate Question (in case anyone happens to also know the answer)- How does a bad starter cause/ relate to ... not being able to read any codes (the code machine would not communicate- no codes came up)?
