Questions
What should the quote include?
A fair quote covers the diagnostic visit, the part, licensed labor, and a written parts-and-labor warranty. Ask for the part number — with it, the price is checkable.
Why do quotes for this vary so much?
Brand of part, warranty length, after-hours timing, and how hard your system is to access all legitimately move the number. That is why we show a range rather than a single price.
Is the diagnostic fee extra?
It varies. A fair quote credits the diagnostic fee toward the repair if you approve the work — ask before the tech starts.
