Default O2 sensors replaced - and recent dealer costs

I had check engine light on and codes PO125, PO1130 and PO1150 read from Advance auto.


Got the two expensive O2 sensors before the catalytic converter replaced - not at the dealer BECAUSE...

Here's what the dealer wanted:
600/sensor (parts and labor) if not seized, or add +200 if seized.
That means for two O2 sensors, between $1200-1600
Also, recommend PCV valve for $58
Induction cleaning $258
Side marker lamps out at $53/each $106
Cabin air filter (which I just replaced) $ 88

Dude, I can afford a Lexus, it's the dealer service I can't afford.
Who needs ya' stinkin carwash and donuts?

Holy moly,

The PCV valve is like less than $5 even at a stealership.

They way overcharge there.

Two air fuel sensors go bad at the same time? With warranty expired, why do you go to the place that charge the highest labor rate on the planet?
