dealer charges

**dan_reinfoma** · 12-11-2005, 10:22 PM

does anyone know how much the dealer would charge to find out why my engine light came on? I was Driving today and it came on. I am going to take it to the dealer tomorrow, and I am curious what they would charge to read the code and tell me whats wrong.

Thanks

when I put mine in the shop for a code, it was like 60 bucks

prolly charge you an hour labour or so just to check the code and let you know what it means. Toyota dealers know how to rape ya good ;)

what year is your car? Checking the code in Toronto area is usually roughly 45 bucks (as said before 1/2 an hour)...but if you are under warranty then its FREE!

its a 2000 gts with 86k i will check the warranty on the car.

snap-on has one, but it's realllllllly expensive, but you can buy chips for almost every make of car

all you need is a obd2 code reader almost all cars after around 2001 have a set standard obd (onboard diagnostics) system that utilises the same codes across the board.

I know nothing about canada or whatnot, but if you guys have a Autozone or Advance auto parts, then they can check your CEL for free.

we don't we have Canadian tire :P

But grab an ODB2 Sensor from CT they're not bad

I heard somewhere that Walmart auto centers will do it for free in Canada.
