Thermostat replacement

[FindaNurse]

Hi everyone, got the p0597 code. Dealer says the thermostat needs replaced, they are quoting me 1500$ for the job. My car is just over the 60k mile mark by 1000 miles. To me the price is absurd but what do you guys think?

It's not absurd, just high. List price of thermostat itself is over $200. Plus you have to replace and bleed the coolant system after replacement. Get quotes from independent shops. I would say it should be in 700-800 range.
