You realized this is a zombie thread? dmatz has been resurecting old threads and posting his NHTSA crusade (they have 6 IMS recorded complaints including, presumably, his) at the end (plus giving it its own thread). Wish the forum administrators would whack these duplicate posts...

I do. But the question is still valid.

it has been answered several times in several different threads. yes a TIP costs more to do the IMS than a manual because there is more labor involved in getting to the bearing.

expect anywhere from $2500-$5000 depending on the facility you go to.
