Need a Mechanic.

[Aegis]

Im in Flowery Branch,Between Mall of Georgia and Gainesville.
I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Quadcab.
Took it for Oilchange and they said :

Upper and Lower Ball Joints bad?
Rack is Leaking?
Recommend Brake Flush
Rear Differential Service.

I also know im going to need brakes soonish.

I don't really trust this dealership, so id like a second opinion from someone I can trust.

and Id like to give my money to someone in our ODT Family rather than the dealer.
Who can help me out, save me a little money and get my truck fixed up?

Why havent you called me ?

 

[Aegis]

cause im an idiot. for some reason i was thinking car audio/lift kits, not repairs.

 

[JRolin]

Who told you that all of this stuff was needed ?

Sounds like a load of bull **** to me.

How many miles are on it?

105k. Dodge Dealership, which is why I don't trust it. They're known for nickel and diming, but $65 for 4 oil changes is too good to pass up. (they do cheap oil changes to hit you on everything else)

Brake flush is BS. Have someone you trust check the rack and suspension. I do my rear diff often so I don't think its a bad idea unless it was recently done.

65 for 4 oil changes, I'd be suspect of the quality of oil and filter.

Its a loss leader. they lose money on the oil changes to get you coming there for other services.
