I looked up how much computers for a 2010 Nissan Sentra and I could get a new one for less than $200. So what the fuck? I got my car out of there and now I' searching for a new mechanic. my uncle says he knows this good guy. So I'm taking it there tomorrow and i'm really gonna find out what's wrong with the car. Never has someone been so blatant with their scam that lying sack of mexican horseshit.

you should enquire as to where he's getting the replacement from, there's always cheaper alternatives but there's also oem parts. what he's quoting you out at probably isn't the same cheap aftermarket part you found online. just a heads up for future times.

ecm isn't a very common issue, and for a 2010 nissan it certainly seems like a slightly strange diagnosis. might not hurt to have a second look by someone else.
