Central Gateway Help! FL

Hello, I was just quoted $1500 for a new central gateway on my 2005 E55, although I previously called and was told about $500. I will argue this tomorrow with the dealer but is there someone near Port St. Lucie/ Fort Pierce that I can trust to do this for less? I know the part is only $130-$200 and a forum member with DAS would be amazing, or at least a reputable shop that wont charge something that insane would be amazing. Thank you anyone who can provide some thought

get yourself the BenzNinja and you'll never pay again
used part from ebay = 75$
reprogramming = 0
everything in the future = 0
0 is a nice price

Anything is going to be $1500 + fluff is to be expected
What's wrong with your gateway... what happened then what did you do?

BTW BenzNinja is a fantastic red carpet option to update and reprogram modules if you don't have a local specialist connection you trust. Having a fully updated stack of 35+computer modules is one seriously priceless opportunity 👏
