So, my check engine light has been on for four months. I drive a 2005 hyundai sonata. It has 67,000 miles on it. I havent gotten it fixed yet because I was quoted a high price for repairs. I want to know if this is a reasonable price for repairs. I brought my car to Firestone Complete Auto Care and they said: Recommended Services not authorized by customer: exhaust $1,114.65 Leaking $999.99 remove and replace catalytic converter $76.50 gaskets $12.99 (x 2) studs $6.09 (x 2) engine sensors $189.99 remove and replace oxygen sensors-rear, one or all $51.00 total: 1,455.31 They said my exhaust was leaking so that is why my check engine light has been on for four months. So, my questions are: Is this price reasonable for this repair? Is this a much needed repair or is it okay to continue driving my car with the check engine light on? Thanks. Let me know if you need any more details.

*** UPDATE *** since then, i have gone to a reputable mechanic and have been very happy. they said: #P0139 OXYGEN SENSOR SIGNAL SLOW FIRST REPLACE OXYGEN SENSOR THEN RECHECK FOR OTHER PROBLEMS. VEHICLE CATALYTIC CONVERTER MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED 1 OXYGEN SENSOR (B1 S1) $291.44 1 OXYGEN SENSOR (B1 S2) $189.99 Much better than Firestone, and they explained everything to me. They said if in 6 weeks the check engine light comes on again, then the vehicle catalytic converter may need to be replaced.
