My Celica went to my local Toyota dealership for maintenence (the secondary air pump was needing replaced). Toyota's quote for the job was a head-shattering £1,800!

Labour for the job was quoted as 2-3 hours, so roughly £150. So they were asking £1,650 for the cost of the air pump. bks to that I said, I'll source one myself and send it to you for fitting. I found a good condition second-hand one online, for £80. Less than 1/20th of what Toyota were going to charge me.

Anyone else experienced any ridiculous prices from dealers for replacement parts?
