Hello. I live in Ohio and had to have my Z24 towed to a local mechanic. They called and said they'd have to replace the ignition switch, which I thought is a 25-30 dollar part. Anyway, I was told that with the diagnostic and labor, the repair cost will be $271 and change.

Is that a fair price for diagnostics, labor and parts? How long should the job take to replace the part? Thank you for your response.
