Shady Shady!!! I have to be careful no matter where I go in the auto repair business because being a lady - shocker alert- I am taken advantage of, over and over and over again. Well chalk this up as another bunch of jerks trying to play me.
So I come in on a weekday morning to get a routine oil change- while servicing my car the front desk guy comes out to me with a clipboard and says my cv joints on the front axle are in such bad shape it is only a matter of time before my car just breaks down on me and won't move because it's going to snap and break. Oh- and for only $400 they can just take care of this for me today.
This isn't my first rodeo, so I call my dad like I usually do and ask if this is first, a legit repair, and second, if the price is accurate. He says both seem ok but I should make some calls around to get second opinions and also bring it to another body shop to get the cv joints checked.
WELL aren't I glad I did this!!! The next shop I brought it to told me in fact there was nothing wrong with my cv joints but a mere bolt loose that he tightened for me on the spot, for free.
Thanks a lot for nothing you slimeballs.
