I went to pepboys 1802 hempstead tkp. on 2/26/2013 to get my 2002 astro van front end checked after it was checked by edwin tamashar he told me i need upper and lower ball joints tie rod end inner and outer.2 idler arms 2 front rotors front brakes wheel alignment.parts labor taxs $2438.66 .
i paid $21.99 for check up and took my van home to check it myself i change my whole front end brakes and rotos in june 2012 so i know they were not telling me the truth i had a fender bender and alignment was off that why i went to pepboys and it was to cold to lay on the ground to check myself.
for $2438.66 i will check myself i found the 2 idler arms were bad from the fender bender brakes rotors were still look new.took to another shop they told me 2 idler arms were bad changed them charged me $400,00 and all is well.
