[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the work that “needs” to be done?  Itemizing helps. [/quote]

[b]Replace the front exhaust pipe - $2600[/b]; replace the front strut - $1,100; and replace the front upper strut shock -$530. These are the three most expensive items. Several other items range from $50- $300.[/quote]

Ummm no, way overpriced. And what is a "front exhaust pipe"? The pipe running from the manifold to the muffler, and they want $2600 for a $100 part and $100 labor job? LMAO![/quote]

I appreciate you laughing. I swear it seemed bogus, but I don't know cars. Honestly, had the dealer listed one or two things, I would have just paid for it, given the car's age. It was their over-recommending repairs that sent me running. Who would pay that much for a 16-year-old car?

This is what I copied and pasted from the invoice if it makes any more sense:
REPLACE FRONT EXHAUST PIPE, EXHAUST LEAK FROM FRONT PIPE[/quote]

Skip that and go to a muffler shop in the poor part of a town.

If there is just a leak in a pipe, 10 min on a rack with a torch welding tip and it's fixed. The only expensive part of exhaust is the catalytic convertor, and in many places that wink and let you go, they don't care if you are compliant about that or not.

An entire exhaust system replacement, manifolds, pipes, CC, muffler, tail pipe wouldn't even be close to $2600. [/quote]
