That's not so bad then. Only $550/hr for labor. I assume replacing the upstream O2 sensor can't possibly take more than 30 mins.
Walk up to car, open hood. Remove air cleaner(3 10mm bolts,1 hose clamp,unplug maf,move pcv and trans vent out of the way),Then remove O2 sensor. At least that's the way I picture it in my head? Maybe there's more to it that I'm forgetting. On the 14-15's the front o2 is up top and easy to do. No climbing under car and dying is necessary.
I've never looked into it but is there any way you could skip the running into a curb part and see if it's covered under the emissions warranty or has that ship sailed?
Either way that seems high for labor but I don't pay attention to labor rates and forgot about that inflation thing. Bring it here, I'll do it for $50.
Or clear code and hope it stays out?
Edit: Ignore all that...I think I got it wrong. That code is for the downstream sensor...Whoops. Maybe don't ignore the labor cost though. It's even easier to remove the lower sensor. Just unbolt it. Crawling under the car is necessary for the downstream sensor. Maybe the inflated price is for danger pay?
