I find it hard to believe that an Acura mechanic, who has doubtless
done it MANY times and has just the right tools, would take an hour to
swap out a relay. Charge an hour yes, take an hour no. Yes, it is
tucked away under the dash, but it is still a one bolt, one connector
operation.

Is the Dealer price for a Main Relay $150 nowadays?
