Keyless Go module

My dealer just told me my Keyless Go module has an internal fault and needs to be replaced. The module alone is $600 and the labor is $250. Does this all sound kosher to everyone, price, diagnosis etc? I was hoping my keyless go problem was just because there were eight keys issued to my car and the new key and reprogramming would fix it. Anyway any thoughts and experiences would be helpful.

I can't afford
Hard to say, was there a rabbi there when you got the quote?

Yes there was a rabbi present but in the waiting room I clearly saw the coffee creamer right next to some slim jims so I figure I'm in a gray area.

Seriously though I guess no ideas huh? I think I'll just have them do it. They actually cut $100 off the labor because of something they did today that I didn't have to pay for that will make the job easier. I don't know the specifics but whatever.

Yeah I just got and no it was out of warranty. I'm not too broken up over it. This was literally the only problem with the car and it's not too bad. Lets just hope this isn't the beginning of a trend.

I wouldn't sweat it much.. It's still an awesome car.
Plus the Kg module IMO is definitely a"let the dealer fix" item..

Then they can deal with it if there are any other issues...

Rabbi will not bless this transaction. there is no gray area. Slim Jims are definitely not Kosher!!!!!!!!! Forget about the Creamer. Anyway get the Keyless Go fixed by the dealer. Nobody else can probable fix it and it is an awesome option to have on your vehicle.
