I was charged $900. for an ignition switch lock cylinder replacement.
What is your question?
The part (ignition switch lock cylinder replacement) alone was 591.97. And then another 187.50 to remove and replace. Plus 75.00 for diagnose. My key would not turn in the ignition.
Now I have to wiggle it for about 10 seconds before it will turn over. That is what started before. I think I got ripped on the part. Does this sound right to you?
Actually, I haven't came across an impala ignition lock cylinder that runs that high yet. From prices online, the part alone should cost somewhere around $150-$250 give or take. So yeah, it sounds like you were beat pretty bad unless they replaced the ignition switch and wiring along with the lock cylinder.
