Default Engine Cranks but Does not Fire--Fuse Box according to the dealer?

Ok my wife's 93 Saturn was running relatively good, she complained that it
would stall out occassionally.
She had the car parked all day...came out of work and the engine would crank
but not fire. Had the car towed to a Saturn Dealership...... Their vedict
the fuse box had shorted and it cost over $800 to get the car back on the
road... I think they pretty much took full advantage of the situation. At
$90 an hour labor rate... it took them 2 hours + troubleshooting the problem
and another 2 to replace the fuse box which was another $325. First I have
never heard of a fuse box going bad, Second it took them 2 hours to trouble
shoot a short circuit which according to them killed all power to the fuse
box and third 2 hours to replace a box which has 4 bolts and a plug
connector? These guys are rip offs to the nth degree.

My Gawd! What a RIP OFF!
Please contact the better business bureau and Saturn corporate! This
is awful.
I cannot believe the balls these jerks must have.
A fuse box is simply a plastic box with a bunch of wires going into it.
Inside it -
the wiring harness from one side terminates with copper inserts which
are flush with the panel surface, and the recieving connectors are the
same which lead out the wiring harness on the opposite side. There are
several relays which mount on the surface of the fuse panel, but
there's just no justification for what these criminals have done to
you!
Please post the name, address and phone number of this dealership.
