I recently took my car in for a checkup. I had it thoroughly inspected, and got a list of everything needing repair. It was a fairly normal list; brake work, fan belts, etc., but times are tight and I wanted a second price.
I asked my wife to take it to a place near her work, Rick Johnson Tire and Auto on Pine Ridge Road, to get a second inspection and quote. She didn't tell them the car had already been inspected.
After their inspection, they told my wife that the CV joint seals were bad and needed to be replaced, to the tune of several hundred dollars.
I took the car to a third mechanic to get the seals checked, and was told that the CV joint boots hadn't cracked, they had been deliberately cut with a knife.
You may want to think twice before taking your car to this place.
