How much would it cost to install a new camshaft postion sensor into a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder?

Posted on February 12, 2010 by admin

I feel like I just go ripped off. My pathfinder needed a "camshaft position sensor" so I called my mechanic. He charged $160.40 for the part and $75.00 labor. ($235.40 total) Did I get screwed? I saw online the part I needed going for as low as $60.00. That means I he charged me an extra 100 dollars. How much would you charge for this part to be installed?

the part at a nissan dealer is no more than $50.00
labor is .5 hrs
so at a dealer with a labor of 92.95 per hour
with tax it shouldnt be too much more than $100
this is per side-it is possible that both sensors may have needed
replaced which would then be $200
