Have a 1 year-old Vtech solenoid, the gasket was leaking oil.
The gasket cost $9.00 after taxes.
It took me under 30 minutes to replace that gasket.

There was nothing wrong with the solenoid. 
Honda dealership wanted to sell me a new Solenoid for $400, then charge me $330 labor.

It was the $9.00 gasket that needed replacing; there was nothing wrong with the solenoid. 

Again, I removed the solenoid, replaced the gasket & reinstalled the solenoid in 24 minutes. 

The job is done.

It cost me $9.00 for the gasket & 1/2 hour of my time.

They wanted to sell me a $400 replacement solenoid when there was nothing wrong with the one I had.

Then charge me $330 labor to do that 1/2 hour job.
