We've got a 2004 STS, and it needs a new camshaft position sensor.

Does anyone recommend a shop that can do this well, and for much less than dealership prices?

do it yourself. 1 plug, 1 bolt and your done. labor time is only .5, dont waste your money paying someone else. its like paying someone to change your wiper blades(its that easy)

you sir are mistaken. its much much more involved than that. I work on cars every free second that I have, and I even have the factory service manual for this car. It's a lot of work.

Seriously do it yourself.. I've taken the intake manifold off my car and other ls2's and ls1's tons of times and it's not hard at all.. I can't see it being any harder in the STS..
