So .... GirlChild was driving the '14 Chevy Sonic to town last week and it just died on her. She was able to get to the side of the road but could not get it to start again. Terrified she had run it out of oil or something equally catastrophic, I told her to sit tight and called AAA to come tow it to the dealership. When they were able to diagnose it a week later they said it needs a new battery and alternator, to the tune of about $780. If they also do all the fluids (oil WAS low) and tire rotation, we're looking at over $850. Does this sound right to you guys? Oh, and also I asked about a credit for the alternator core and the gal on the phone in the service dept acted like I was speaking a foreign language. This surprised me, as I have had an alternator replaced once before and there was definitely a credit for letting them have the old alternator core. What do you guys think? Am I about to get ripped off? Should I seek a second opinion?

I think you are being ripped off with a chainsaw.
