Default Repairs = $$ ?

I'm thinking about an extended warrantee for my 2000.

Can any of you members shed some light on how much it cost you for your repairs? Or is the GM guide that the Service Dept. uses (to estimate time for repairs) listed on the web anywhere?

Repair a power seat module, fix the drivers side rocking seat, and lubricate the drivers side rear axle spline = 1596.00

My cost = 0.00

3-4 shift fork broke.

i still haven't figured out how much it cost me. but no warranty. rebuilt it so it wouldnt' happen again, and also replaced the clutch since the tranny was coming out.

Dual Disc Mcleod & Adjustable Master Cylinder
Mcleod Aluminum flywheel
Viper Internals for my t56
LPE hardened output shaft
some seals on the rear fixed
labor

think i dropped about $3500 on everything.

My EBCM went out. Fixed it for $281.

I have a problem right now with a steering sensor. Sensor is $65 but the install is pretty indepth with removing the steering column. It'd be nice to just give it to a dealership and say "fix it"

On my first extended warranty, I had the seal between the tranny and the differential go bad. Cost $650 to repair - all it was is a silicone gasket - labor was the rest. My cost was $0 under the warranty.

Current extended warranty - had a fob go bad - Warranty Direct picked up the tab - $124 for the part, $64 labor. My cost - $0.

The factory warr. covered my rear diff. seal replacement.

To replace the fuel pump & fuel sensor was $1,750, ext. warr. covered it all, including towing.
