Hey Scotty I have a 2006 hummer h3 with 180,000m that has been great to me hardly any problems I had gotten my key stuck in the ignition so I removed the ignition lock solenoid to remove the key. I noticed after my key got stuck my windshield wipers weren’t working but my blinkers and brights were still good. The dealership is telling me it’s going to be $1,600 to replace the ignition cylinder and housing and the multifunction switch as well as a new key for the ignition it’s been 2 weeks and I would have thought it would only take less than a couple hours to replace it (other than the key I have no idea) after they got the parts in am I wrong and is that price extremely high
Dealership service is always the most expensive option and not necessarily even the best. An independent mechanic should have been able to do the job at lower cost.
At rockauto.com the multifunction switch is about $127, the lock cylinder $28. I have no idea how much labor is involved.
I know that dealerships definitely aren’t the cheapest option and not always the best I’ve used this dealership twice before and they only charged me $65 for oil change which I thought was a very good price for a dealership and there service was great they had it done fairly quick and they were nice this Chevy dealership is a smaller one but only Chevy dealership in town the owner or whatever also owns a very nice and large dealership 30 miles away that I’ve heard nothing but great things from but this time it seems like there charging me a lot for parts I know that they are under $200 and I’ve seen videos of replacing the ignition cylinder and multifunction switch for gm vehicles around the same era and it seems like it takes about an hour for both if you were taking your time but I haven’t seen any videos on the h3 tho
They usually don't charge so much for oil change because they then tell you 10 things that you need to fix that they mark up the price for
