Is your quote fair?

A quote between $457 and $701 is inside the band where half of all Lincoln Town Car airbag replacements landed. Below it is not automatically a bargain (a connector or clock spring on an accessible column, a single code); above it is not automatically gouging (a seat module or bag unit, multiple stored codes, a module that needs programming) — but both ends deserve a question.

What moves the price

Which component — a clock spring is modest; a bag module or seat sensor is not.
Diagnosis first — airbag repairs are code-led — the scan and circuit test are real work, not padding.
Programming — some modules must be coded to the vehicle after replacement.
