Re: $153.00 for one fog light??? (ragingfish)

Well, I finally bit... A salvage yard in TX.. http://www.qaparts.com.. came to my rescue.. Although at first giving me a price of $160 !!, I continued to tell them that I could find it cheaper.. then they came back with a price of $120/shipped. So.. I couldn't figure of any other way.. This pretty l...

Re: $153.00 for one fog light??? (Mayberry)

Still no luck in finding a cheaper factory light.. I have tried all the local salvage yards.. and guess what?? NO Vibes.. Is this a good thing? Not for me right now.. And don't think that when I pull into a parking lot with another Vibe I don't think to myself... "OOh.. there is a replacement r...

Re: $153.00 for one fog light??? (silverawd26)

$150 per foglight... from the Toyota parts desk... I'm still waiting on that one email from a junk yard saying that they have a vibe with rear-end damage... I am also really considering the aftermarket path.. those angel-eye fog lights are pretty cool.. and less than $100 for 2..

$153.00 for one fog light???

Yep.. thats right... Some how while I was driving, a rock kindly bounced off my driver's side fog light. I went into dealership for oilchange, and had them quote parts and labor for the fog light... $235.00 !! So I went home, spent 10 min to remove the light.. and then called for part only ... $153....

Re: Chrome Accents (silverawd26)

The shop guys don't have a clue.. Every since the day I bought the car (one of the first off the lot), I have been the guinea pig with service. I was the first to find out that my oil changes were more expensive than others because of the toyota filter, yada, yada.. When the guys saw the flaking, th...

Re: Ohhh....I'm pissed (camthecanuck)

I have had the same luck in the past with the "rock nick" as well.. My insurence co. did a great job in referring a local repair co. to do the work. Also I had a bonus.. My original glass was a regular non-tinted type, now my newer has a blue tint on the upper 1/8th portion on the windshie...

Re: Bad paint job on hood.. rubber molding around windows, and door panels.. (NSimkins)

Contacting the Pontiac Customer Service may be the best bet, I have played with the molding a bit, and found that the molding will not push any further into the channel... I measured the channel and compared it to the molding, and then inspected the molding to see if it could be cut to fit, but as I...

Re: Oil Change! (robodog61)

sorry, can't help with the chassis lube... but I did want to warn others, that if you do take your Vibe to the service center, you may be paying higher prices for the oil change than posted, because of the higher cost of the oil filter. This happened to me, seeing that the filter was about $12 more ...

Bad paint job on hood.. rubber molding around windows, and door panels..

Well it looks like I experienced one of those rarities that would occur in 1 out of 500 vibes, but starting with the hood.. I noticed a paint run under my clear coat that was about the size of an outstreached hand. It showed a foggy smear. Taking it to the dealer, the body repair boys said that it w...
