Went to take the Jeep Liberty to get services this morning.
Cost for a gas cap and oil change was 160.00 because they charged me to run a check on the check engine light and when it came back 'emissoins' they spent an hour doing a vacuum leak check to determine it's the gas cap.
I only asked them tocheck the light. I didn't tell them to fix the problem. I made it clear that the cel was on for months too.
THEN, they tell me I need to have the upper and lower ball joints replaced. Lowers are on them, recall item. Uppers are on me. They were about to begin the work.
I stopped them. I'll do it myself. The uppers are one part. The entire control arm. Sucks but easy to replace. Just cost more.
Here's where I get really irritated. They want 319.00 per control arm. I priced them aftermarket. 150.00 all day long. I can buy both for less than they want for one. I can even go really cheap and get them for 80.00 a piece.
Mark Dodge in Mobile Alabama is where I went.
