Replacing O2 Sensor- Pricing- Atlanta/N. Ga Area

[Yoadrian]

Hey guys and gals,

I'm prety sure that this has already been addressed in a thread, but I couldn't find it searching...

So I just had my oil changed and had the shop look into the CEL light that was on. I had it read a couple of months ago and it was a 420 code, which I believe is the O2 sensor.

When I picked up the car, the owner tells me that there were two codes- one for each O2 sensor. He quoted me a little over $1,000.00 to replace both sensors.

Is this quote unreasonable? Is this a DIY job if I have a mechanically inclined friend help me? Any suggestions for other shops in the area that may charge less?

This is for a 1999 Boxster.

Thanks!
