Do not go here! I took my old truck in for some vibrations and looseness in the front end. They estimated my repairs for $900. They said I needed a new right upper ball joint, new brakes, new rotors, flush brake fluid, re pack wheel bearings, and a new serpentine belt. I decided to do the work myself, with my buddy (former dealership mechanic). Well almost everything they told me was false:
1. Brake pads were well within limits. Front rotors were fine. I did have to replace the rear rotors. And of course the brake fluid is ok, not great, but ok.
2. Both upper ball joints were fine. But both LOWER ball joints were bad and required replacement.
3. The bearings looked ok grease wise, but I noticed some wear on the races so I replaced those. Sure they wouldn't have known this without tearing them down, but still.
4. The serpentine belt is fine. There is a small amount of wear on the edge, about an inch long. No cracking and no squealing. Definitely not replacement criteria.

So I felt as though they were just racking up the dollars on me. No wonder there was not another car in the place during lunch on a beautiful day. It's hard to find an honest garage, but this is not it. Take your money elsewhere.
