Control arm replacement--$500!!
Why does the dealer want $250 for a part realoem lists for $70? At my inspection I last week, they quoted me:

$250 part
$100 installation labor
$150 alignment labor

I can live with the extra labor expense at the dealer just for the convenience of not having to jack up the truck, lie on my back, skin some knuckles, etc. But why the huge markup on parts?
