Hello what should I do? Went in Firestone to get an evalutation on my vehicle, said only needed a fan clutch. Went to another mechanic shop said didn’t like how it drives even though it is okay for me, no check engine light etc. He said the suspenison and front needs to be replaced whatever that means and hung up on me abrubtly. I understand it needs work it is an old vehicle. This shop won’t even specify what exaclty is wrong with it, but I need to go pick it up soon and pay for the diagnostic that was done on it? I don’t know who to trust. Firestone didn’t see big problems on it like this place. It seems like he just evaulated it by just driving it around the block drove like ‘a boat’. IDK how to react to this, help me with advice, thank you
If a shop’s diagnosis is “it drives like a boat” then they should not be paid for a diagnosis. Then I’d recommend taking it elsewhere.
Update- Went to go pick it up, his tone was different in person. Said it’ll probably need new transmission even though it isn’t slipping. Said he can try fix it at his personal shop and not at the FULL SERVICE mechanic place I dropped it off at. I was charged $130 for new bolts and battery check, I told them beforehand the battery was already checked. I will go elsewhere, they were overall unproffesional and the car is still going so
