I have 2016 kia Sorento. Recently the shifter started to lock in the park and I had to manually pushed the shift lock release button to get the shifter unlock.
Nearest Kia dealer is 1 hour away so I brought it to a local auto repair center and they diagnosed the issue. As per them "BCM unit is not sending the ground signal. Need new BCM"
BCM part number 95410-C6020
They did not have the parts so they charged me $240 for the diagnose. And gave me a estimate to replace the BCM (Body control module) Below is their estimate
Part and Labour - $1040
Reprogram system (Flash) - $192
So the total is for this service including the diagnosis is $1472
I googled the BCM unit price and it looks like it is around $475

Do you think their BCM replacement cost is fair?

I can’t speak to your area but I would get quotes from other shops too, asking them to assume the diagnosis is good for quote purposes. (because the BCM is the usual culprit but heads up some may be reluctant to give anything over the phone - the quote here does sound high to me but I don’t know what exactly the procedure entails)
Thanks!
