whoa... whoa....
Do it yourself!
There are a few great write-ups here that will walk you thru it!
takes (for the first time) maybe 3 hours..... after that under 2hrs easy....
do a search for the oil pressure sensor and you can see all the write-ups
and GL!
Also, contact Gene @ Fred Beans, I think the sensor is around 37$ from him...

If you are not comfortable doing it, find another member close that could help.. Not really a big deal....just time consuming. I would NEVER pay that kind of money for that.

keep looking. i had mine done at a local chevy dealer, told them to reuse the gaskets nothing wrong with them.
they charged me 2 hours and part. $200+tax.(labor was $70/hour)
for that, it was better for them to do it then me!

If that is for one gallon of coolant, see if you can bring a gallon in yourself. Would save at least half that cost. But, if you can DIY, save even more.

I just changed mine 2 weeks ago. It's EASY. There is no need for new gaskets, there is no way that you need antifreeze. You dont loose a drop. You dont even disconnect any hoses that are attached to the cooling system at all. Your dealer is trying to screw you big time. What a joke. Tell him to take a hike. I hate when dealers screw people.

What do they mean by "Environmental Charges"Why an extra. What is in the labor costs. I need a breakdown on this please. Sounds like a major con job.
OOPS!, I forgot..last time a bought a shirt in Penneys , they charged me 5.00 extra for environmental fees. They said they had to press it before they can sell it....NOT!!! Environmental fees..what a laugh
