I just paid $500 for a catalytic converter for my 1998 Mazda 626. Has my mechanic ripped me off?
More details - the break down of the repair costs is:
1 catalytic converter/o2 sensor/gaskets + clamps = $501,
1 AC/powersteering belt = $32.15
1 Alt belt = $28.32
6 dashboard bulbs = 12.00
Oil change = $38
Labour = $253.50

Is this a rip off?
