I took my vehicle to Meineke because the serpentine belt needed to be replaced. Now they are saying there is a problem with the vacuum line, charging me 90 bucks for a diagnostic alone, and then estimating it will be at least $300 to repair one vacuum hose. This seems exorbitant to me! Is this a reasonable and average fee for the service?

Have them show you exactly where the problem is, then take it somewhere else and see what they say.

EnthusiastThe price does seem to be steep to replace one vacuum hose.
