If you're out of warranty, I would definitely get a second opinion. The dealership will rape you every chance they get. I brought my truck to the dealership years ago to get something fixed and they came back with a huge list of shite that they recommended for about the same cost. I left out of there paying $200 for what really needed to be fixed. They want you to trade it in, you're at the dealership where they make a living off of selling new cars. Find a good local mechanic that has a good reputation.

get an email 4 hours later that the diagnostics came back and to address the issues they found it'll cost me a smooth 3500 dollars lol. I bought the truck brand new, its about 30 months old. I take good care of it, certain don't rag it out. And this isn't meant to be a Ford bash post. I actually love the truck and was fine with Ford. Truck has about 60K miles on it. I don't know the point of this post honestly, i guess just to share some misery haha.
is it an ecoboost or 5.0

He just bragging he got $3500 to throw away without a fight or even what needed to be repair, nor apparently cares. Just heard ‘$3500 and you will fix problem, thank you so much”

The point is you need to buy the cyber truck

$3500? Check engine light usually means a sensor or something similar. I drove my car with the engine light on for a long time and it never broke down on me. I agree with others here. Take it to an auto parts store and have them run a test for the code and find out what the problem is. My dad was a mechanic and I always got his opinion before having anything fixed on my car because there are a lot of shady mechanics out there that will rip you off!!

We all want to know what it is that needs fixing and cost $3500.

Buy a Toyota and you wont have these problems.
Posted on 1/29/20 at 3:24 pm to Random LSU Hero
Tightening the gas cap or replacing a sensor sure got more expensive.

Every vehicle I buy from here on out will be a Toyota

Never trust a mechanic you don't know. First, determine if you really need all the things they want to do. Most times you don't. Next, look at the prices they are giving you for the parts first. Look up those parts online and compare. You can save a lot of money sometimes if you buy the parts yourself either at Autozone or order online. Next, look up on youtube or wherever on how to do the labor they want to do. It's astounding what some mechanics will charge for very simple tasks. My thermostat went bad and the dealership wanted to charge me quite a bit of money (probably over $150) to replace it. I looked up how to do it for my model of car, and found a step by step video on youtube. It was as simple as unscrewing a couple screws, removing the old thermostat, replacing it with a new one, then screwing it back in. It literally took me 5-10 minutes.

What do you think the service manager, service adviser, and mechanic do, when a customer just outright says, "okay, go ahead and fix it all" ? High fives all around, ring a bell, all yell cha ching?

Get an oil change, the light will go off.

Go take it to tri-care.

Which engine?
Bring it to a recommended indy.
Maybe a bad MAF sensor.
