Ok, my friend has a 2000 Honda Civic, and her car wouldnt start with a jump the other day. She took it to the stealer, and they want to charge her $681 to replace the distributor cap and rotor. I looked up the price of the parts on autopartswarehouse.com, and they are no more than $20-$35 for each part. That would mean over $600 in labor charges?? I've never owned a car with a distributor cap before, but I know it can't be that hard to replace. I know some of you have replaced yours before, so how hard is it to do, and how much should she expect to pay for that work?
