Check eng light {follow up}

I posted on here that the check eng light was on in my 2003 F250 Ford V10 eng with 105K miles. Took into the local Stealership
and after 3 hrs the Tech said I need a new compter that cost $900

I took it to Auto Zone and 3 error codes came up that stated the
Oxygen Sensor {02 Wiring needs replacing

PO155 02 Heater Circuit Bank # 2 Sensor 1
PO135 02 Heater Circuit Bank # 1 Senser 1
PO141 02 Heater Circuit Bank # 1 Senser 2

Needless to say I will not take it back to AlexXXXXX Ford here
in Yuma

    As you did, I'd have gotten a second opinion, but you don't know which fix is the correct one yet. Hope it's the Auto Zone one. But considering the price is right, why not go by NAPA also and get them to test it.

    Normally, Autozone retrieves the codes. They do not test oxygen sensors and the like. They will ask customer if he/she wants codes erased. I would have the codes erased to see if they come back. It could have been bad gas!
    They test items such as starters, alternators and batteries.

    Lol. Well get if repaired and then complain about the dealership. Typically a Ford tech knows and has had been trained a tad more then AutoZone. But to each his own.

    Did they do any actual testing or just retrieve DTCs?

    In Yuma there is a NAPA "certified" garage called "310 Auto" and "310 Diesel". Avoid at all costs. Owned by same family, very poor service IMO. Warranty not worth the paper written on.

    The actual NAPA part store is other end of town and very helpful, at least to me.
