QuestionI was told that the front left strut is leaking, also steering shaft, lower control arms , alignment, waterpump leaking, engine drive belt, clean and adjust rear brakes, 60K service, cabin filter, vent service and transmission fluid. All for $3900.
What do you think please?
AnswerI think you are being taken, here is what I would agree with: the water pump, the belt, the transmission service, clean and adjust brakes, cabin air filter.
Skip the 60K service and just have the oil and filter changed as well as the coolant
I don't buy the struts, steering shaft,lower control arms,alignment unless you can give me a very good explanation of why they want to do this, struts on toyotas last way longer than 60,000 miles and a small amount of seepage at the top is considered normal.
I would recommend getting another opinion at a Toyota dealer, most offer a free inspection of the car when you have an oil change done, then take it from there, this may save you about $2900 in uneeded repairs.
