I checked.
Alternator NEW - $252 from O'Reilly's + $214 labor = $466
Engine crossbar NEW - $220 from multiple vendors + $588.50 = $808.50
$1274 vs $1650-$1750
Used/reconditioned parts would have saved more money.
Turns out the engine cradle was a known problem with Jeeps and there was an extended warranty on that - something a repair shop should have been aware of. Son in law is a mechanic and said he replaced an alternator last week on a similar vehicle and it took 30 minutes. He thought the other labor est. was excessive as well.
I paid $159 for the privilege of getting screwed. Never again.
