> if they were lying then why did you change out the control arms? why not call them out on it? i have no problem physically showing a customer what exactly fails on their vehicle and why it is unsafe. if work unnecessary work is being done then it needs to be stopped. there’s plenty of actual problems out there and no need to create them

because it would have just been cheaper for me to fix it than to take it somewhere else to get it inspected… not to mention i would be insulting the mechanic who inspected it

i guess i should rephrase myself, i dont really think they outright lied to me and tried to sell me a job that didnt need to be done, but those bushings really did not look bad to me, maybe the mechanic saw something that i did not, but i would not have replaced them

im assuming that it is a common problem for that car and any TINY thing wrong with the bushing would cause it to fail, who knows… i dont really care, its done and over with

i really seem to have bad luck with shops… when i got my snow tires off a few months ago… ohh man was that a huge disaster… i was totally lied to, and after that experience my attitude toward auto shops did a 180
