I agree with this. On my Ford, I was quoted $500 to fix the central locking mechanism on 2 doors. I thought that was a bit steep. I ended up buying the required parts off ebay for $20. The first door took about 30 minutes to fix since I had no idea what I was doing. The second door took about 5.
Dealerships are, in my experience, the absolute worst place to get a service. you might be getting 'genuine' parts but it sure as hell won't be cheap!
