Decamo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Ran over a brick on 401 near allen road!@@!!

About a week ago I was driving along 401 heading for the allen road exit and there was this huge brick in the middle of the road, it was night time so i didn't notice it untill it was too late. It scraped the whole middle underside of my lowered car and ripped the wires out of my secondary oxygen sensor.

Just got my car back from regular service & honda wants $348+tax for a new O2 sensor. I said screw that, now my question is where the heck can I get a new secondary oxygen sensor for cheap??

I guess I can put it in myself, how hard could it be.

Man Honda is a RIP OFF... holy damn!! Worse than VW now. When I wanted to replace my foglamps, just the cracked lens, they said you gotta buy the WHOLE thing.. at a ridiculous $600.... *****!!

Man, I had an experience like that before too. So did a friend on mine in his 99. His was the same problem, and Honda had him wait 5 weeks because the part was on back order, though he got it covered under insurance so I think it was more serious.

I ran over a broken muffler one night last year (hate ppl who leave broken stuff form their car on the roads)... didn't do any damage as I was able to rear back out, maybe scratched my front bottom a bit, but was all good.

Try some shops, as most of them can get direct parts and can charge cheaper than Honda.
