I need help....

My car has been having trouble starting up in the morning...I brought it to the dealer and they said I need a new alternator and battery, I have a 99 1.8t with 120k miles..
they quoted me a price of $950, this sounds somewhat crazy, is this a fair price? Does anyone know of any other places in NJ that I could get this done.
I also had a problem with my Airbag light being on, they say that my passenger side, side airbag is defective and needs to be replaced...another $550...the airbag has never been deployed, should this be something that I would pay? or would Audi pay? (I know I'm out of warranty, but why would the airbag just go bad?)

Thanks in advance...I appreciate any help at all....

Re: i thought the airbags are warr for 10yrs?

just went through the search and found that this has happened to a lot of us...but no one has confirmed the warranty, but it seems that I'd have to give AoA a call...ugh
