Do I know any mechanics on here? Trying not to get scammed or taken advantage of…

Long story short:

Dropped my vehicle off at a mechanic two days ago to replace the LED brake light. They ordered a new one and the part in front of the light had a crack so that had to be replaced too. ($750 in total)

Apparently when they tried to plug in the new light it didn’t work and then charged another $150 to do a diagnostic.

After the diagnostic the mechanic thinks water got in somehow and now I need a body control module and then need to have it reprogrammed (another including a used BCM $1,000)

So…. My question is… is there a way I can buy the body control module and do it myself? And if so how do I reprogram it?

Is $1,000 a lot for this? Feels like a lot. In over my head with this one.

Advice greatly appreciated. 🙏🏼
