Dealerships are, IMO, the place to go to get something fixed right. its routine for them, they dont have to rip apart your whole car (for the most part) to find a problem, they see the same problems over and over, and typically dont mess up more than it came in for trying to find a problem that an aftermarket place wouldnt find.
This is especially true with newer vehicles. basically all cars are going to CAN networks these days, and to replace a simple window switch, radio, insturment cluster, rear view mirror, you also need to do a software download for that part to function. Basically all aftermarket repair facilities will probably be eliminated in the future due to this.

260 or whatever seems good for an 02 sensor, when he gave you the second quote, im guessing labor / or the part was accidentally not on there....

labor rate at the place i work is now 110, not sure what the domestics are at, but im sure they cane be too far back...

no, the dealer is not a place to hot rod your mitsubishi, for that you have a nice array of local shops to do that for you.

maybe im biased...but whatever...
