I have a speed sensor that needs to be replaced. How much should this cost to have fixed at the dealership? From start to finish, how long should this take to fix? I am concerned because I work at a Ferrari dealership and had a tech look at it and said that he couldn't help it would need to go to a dealership to get fixed...and that's my only car!

Your best bet would be to call the dealer and ask them what the labor rate is to find out how much.If it's just the speed sensor then it shouldn't take more than half a day tops. if it's something else though they may have to trouble shoot it more.

Suggested Repair

Call a Ford dealer for the current labor rate and a quote. If only the speed sensor needs replacement, the job should take no more than half a day; allow more time if further troubleshooting is required.
