I have to replace both lower control on my 96 V6 Tour. The alignment shop wanted almost $475 each side ..... and that was on top of their $105/hour labour. Total would have been $1500 easy.
I resisted the urge to tell the owner to f ... himself and went internet shopping. Once again, Bill Jenkins of las Vegas ford came thru. I've ordered from him in the past and he is a pleasure to do businees with. I got the parts at just over 1/4 of what the mechanic was charging.
I asked the first shop if they were still interested in installing the LCA's and was told they wont install even OEM parts because there is no money it it for them. I guess at $105/ hr they still cant make a profit ... without a $350% markup on their parts.
Anyone else here had any siimilar dealinghs with a dishonest repair shop or dealership.
