[s-cars] Help! Bad CPS - Dealer quote

[hoog23 at aol.com]

Well thanks to some listers who offered to loan me their replacement sensor until I get mine from Steve I am trying to get in touch with the Service Advisor to tell them not to do the work.
 
Even with having to pay for an additional tow I am looking at $300-400 vs $1000 and I can have my mechanic throw in a set of plugs and o2 sensor that I have sitting in my basement.
