Default O2 heat sensers gone bad... i think

i went to get an inspection test this morning, but untill i realized that i failed it cause my engine light was on... he told me the O2 heat senser might be bad according to theyre diagnostics. but he said it really could be anything. i know those things are hard to get to but does anyone know around how much they would go for if i had to replace them? and where are they exactly cause i want to take a look at them myself before i take it to the mechanic.

any help is apreciated
thanks

o2 sensor repair is a ripoff. Get autozone or your mechanic to 'pull the code' using a OBDII scanner. Figure out whether the sensor is precat or postcat. Postcat sensors don't affect MPG or performance.

I know a good place to buy o2 sensors if you can put them in yourself. PM me later

I just bought Denso 234-4211 on Ebay. 2 for $140.00 & I will get some Bing cashback.
Also bought 2 Coils (90919-02197) for $79.00 & have 10% Bing cashback on those as well. This is shipping included pricing.
