A few months ago FIL needed an O2 sensor for his pick-up truck. You can actually see it and reach it easily.

That place charged him over $370 for the O2 sensor and to install. He said they told him the sensor was around $180 and the rest was install and tax. WTF? $200 to unscrew unplug and re-screw an O2 sensor. I looked up the O2 sensor, could get them for around $80. Bunch of freakin crooks.
Thats what im working on right now for elderly neighbors. Their check engine light came on the went to the honda dealer $800. for the sensor installed. We looked it up $120. for the sensor its a denso same one the dealer uses. Its right on top easy 10 minute job. I didnt ask how much they paid for an oil change but seemed like they wernt happy about it
