Community / Fair Price?

A few reference points pulled from real, sourced GTA/Ontario pricing data, to help judge whether a quote is in a normal range — these are ranges, not a guarantee, since parts quality (OEM vs aftermarket) and how much rust-belt corrosion a shop finds on your specific car both move the number: front brake pads + rotors, full axle, roughly $300-$800 independent vs $500-$1,000+ dealer. Alternator replacement, roughly $400-$850 independent vs up to $1,600 dealer. Aftermarket catalytic converter (part only, before labour), roughly $250-$1,000 depending on the vehicle. Wheel bearing/hub replacement, roughly $300-$700 per corner, more if a CV axle is bundled in. If a quote is well outside these, it's not automatically wrong — ask what's different (OEM part, extra corrosion, additional work found) rather than assuming you're being overcharged.
