On Saturday I took my car into a local auto shop due to some pretty significant pulling to the right when I take off from the intersections and drifting to the left at highway speeds. Expecting to be told I need an alignment and anticipating about a $80 bill I was obviously a bit surprised when they presented me with an estimate for nearly $2,000 stating I need my struts, shocks and bearings and seals all replaced.
So, not wanting to commit to so much work without getting another look, I swung by the dealership where I bought the car. I had to replace my key fob anyway.
In the end I paid $10 and found out they needed to rotate my tires. The pull is gone and I saved a crap ton. I am quite happy.

I would be livid. Perhaps you need to call your local news station. Here they call it "Turn to 2." I think all areas have these. Call them and try to get this put on the news. Hit them where it counts. That is downright dishonest and thievery at its finest.

Absolutely! In Tucson it's called 9 on your side. They'll send a woman and a man in separately, with the same problem, and compare the estimates.
Beat em DOWWWWWWN, Lab!
