I called Autozone, and they have a distributor for $283. Then I called Firestone to see if I could bring in the part and they said I couldn't because of warranty issues. I said it comes with a lifetime warranty and they basically had no response other to say they don't install outside parts, it's against their policy. Then I asked why it's so much more expensive than the ones I've been able to find and they said because it's coming straight from the dealer/manufacturer. Is there a difference? I don't think they're trying to rip me off, but it sure feels like it. http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/mad.gif

They said the part is $600, and diagnostic tests are about $90. I know, I googled it and found prices around $200. This is BS.

Long story short, I have a '99 Mitz Galant and today it totally shut down while I was driving. It wouldn't restart so I towed it to Firestone and they said I need a new distributor. With parts, labor, diagnostic tests, and taxes the total came to about $900.00. Does this seem wrong to anybody?

Funniest part: Andy: BORING........Call me if she rolls over.

It was actually on sportscenter during the brewer highlights, just a play on words, they weren't seriously saying he's going to be in the HOF. Sounds like a 'stros fan in just taking things out of context.

I'm interested
