Five years ago you where priced a remote for $50 then where surprised when the same remote/part was higher priced today. When you where priced the remote five years ago it was the current one in use. So they sold thousands of them. Now it is a service part. Once something becomes a non-current part the price is going to be higher. I do not care if it is a GM, Ford, or Dodge. Also I bet that the person that told you back in 2008 that the remote was $50 was the salesman not someone from the part's department. OEM remotes have been way more than $50 for years. He either did not know or he was low balling it because he sensed you where concerned about the cost.
Then you where charged for the part and then labor to program it. The $25 dollar charge is cheaper than most dealers have around here. Many of them have a $50 minimum charge. Also this is all brands. You are always going to pay labor to have a part installed or programed.
I will agree with the service order processing fee. I hate those type of things. Many Equipment dealer shops are charging a misc. shop fee. It is usually around $50. That is a rip off.
There are many places to get you car repaired. An OEM dealer is always going to be the highest cost place you can go to. Also the remotes usually can be programed by the owner using the owners manual. These remotes are also available on Ebay and many after market places that would have been half that high a price.
So even though you are PO at GM right now I would bet that the other brands would not have been much cheaper. I actually have had much worse results with Ford in my area. GM next and Dodge the best as far as dealer service/satisfaction.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
