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 - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
