Just be aware that some dealerships (like some repair shops) keep installing expensive parts on a car until the problem is fixed.
And, to add insult to injury, even if the problem is NOT resolved because of their incompetence in diagnosing, you still pay for their “hit and miss” experimenting.
Sometimes a problem with a component like the PCM is actually with the electrical connections (their plug-in terminals) because of poor (corroded) connectors and NOT the component itself.
I shudder at the thought of how many EXPENSIVE electrical components are replaced that are in good working condition.

The OP is in a bind, and frustrated. I don't understand why we can't get him to post the trouble codes, and get him some help without him getting robbed. It's not like he's in a hurry, like an emergency.
