Recently I had a P0420 pop up on my car, and after doing some reading around here saw that there was a high chance that it was my pre-cats. I have just barely under 80k miles, so I brought my vehicle in with hope that I would be covered under warranty.
Given my luck, they tell me that it is actually a Bank 1 Cat Converter, and that it is only covered under a 7 year/ 70,000 mile warranty since it is not a federal vehicle and CA has something different about it.
This is a four hundred dollar piece or so, in addition he was telling me that now the IMRC is giving me some code. Says it would be a 270$ part + 120$ labor so I said forget it give me my car back, they're going to charge me the 128$ diagnostic fee and not actually get anything else done to my car but a PCM reset.
Am I being shafted here or is this all I can do?
