Replaced springs that were getting worn down. First time springs replaced and car is 11 years old, so I'm quite happy with how long they lasted me. :) When in for new springs, they found that the left-front spring perch was severely rusted and about to fail, so they had to replace that too. This really increased the bill, so I'm quite unhappy that this wasn't properly noticed previously. |

Had started having a real bad squeaking noise from the right rear of the vehicle. Ended up having to replace both rear shocks. Squeaking noise was still occurring, so I took the car back and had it diagnosed/repaired again. Dealer gave me a good discount on this trip, since they hadn't completely fixed the problem the first time. They also fixed my water pump. |
