Fvcking christ yes you should, jesus christ why would you take **** like this to the dealership of all places.
Let's break this down:
He says your ECU is bad. Who knows, but if it is. $100 on the .org or in a junk yard or off car-part.com and half an hour (29 minutes of that is spent just trying to reach the damn screws that hold it in place under the dash). Bam - ECU replaced.
Bad O2 sensors - won't cause any issue with driveability. Don't worry about those right now (only emissions problems can result from these). Cost = free for now until you decide to fix them
CPS - whether its the REF or the POS sensor doesn't matter - cheap as hell off the .org and 10 minutes with a 10mm wrench to replace. Done
You are getting scammed so bad - it blows my mind why anyone with enough knowledge to look up stuff on these forums would ever take their car to a dealership or shady *** mechanic and just let them spew this crap.
Pay the $50 or whatever it costs and get that **** towed out of there and into your driveway and bust out the haynes/FSM/socket set and you'll probably have your car fixed in a day for like $150.
Good luck bro, you can do all of this stuff though. It's no harder than installing your ypipe. Simple wrench turning and page turning to find out where this stuff is located.
edit: btw I'm not swearing at you, I'm swearing at the thought of a mechanic or dealership trying to scam someone for like $3000 on a repair that's probably going to cost a couple hundred bucks and half a day's work at most.
