$1,000 for a ebcm!
Just back from the Stealership had a Ebcm installed cost for the ECBM was $788.00 and another 212.00 for labor! also had a stuck window fixed $298.00 for a regulator and another $178.00 for labor! do these prices sound right?

Does it matter now? You paid it, it is what it is. They diagnosed it,replaced/repaired it. Could you do it yourself cheaper? I guess you could, but if you were qualified, I assume you would. Is the car fixed? Where they close to their estimate? If so, great! Enjoy your repaired vehicle.

I've seen guys pay more. Looks like you got a reasonable deal to me.
Couldn't absixer.com fix the old EBCM? If you didn't try, I'd ask the dealer for the old one and get it fixed ($150). At least that way you'd recover some of the cost.

For a dealership repair, that's probably not a bad price. Hopefully the car is fixed and you get a lot more trouble free miles from it.

But for $722. I'd buy a new one instead.
