Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Hi
The front right tire is loose. The tire guy at
Costco pulled me aside and showed me
how loose it was by shaking it back and
forth. Any suggestions of the cause of
this? Also when making a 3 point turn I
hear clicking.

Any suggestions as to which type of mechanic I should take it to?
Thank you! I am going tomorrow. The Meineke shop in our area has good reviews. I'll start there.
For what it's worth, I agree wtih all of the above. Depending on what exactly what the problem is, the wheel could just plain fall off, or lose steering..... and at 60 mph= disaster for you and anybody around you.
Here is the cost... Is this a fair price? It includes wheel alignment. On your car passenger front wheel bearing and lower ball joint is very bad. On the driver side the lower ball joint is also bad . After we replace those parts we will have to perform a wheel alignment on the car the cost for the repairs is 767.59 total that is including tax
I agree with tennis - I would shop around.
I also agree. Too much for that service. But you have it right down to Dollars and cents. Do you have an itemized work order for that amount of money? The reason I ask is until they begin work, they don't know what all is damaged ot worn out. I am just wondering how they can give you that amount, unless the shop just wants to do everything, maybe something not needed
After looking around, I have discovered Meineke has far more better reviews than any other. Seems to me thay can be trusted, and if they inspected it, that's where the dollar amount came from, it still seems a bit costly, but they back up their work, You get what you pay for, a lesser ruputable shop won't.
Hi All, The quote was after they did a full inspection of the car. This shop has high ratings so I went ahead with the work. This is our commute car so we need it to hold up. Again thanks for all your feedback.
Well put Jim. and Kimberly that $767 is money well spent because that is serious and loss of steering could cost you your life, and that is a pittance. The cost I mean not your car or life. I think I jumped to conclusions about the cost. You deserve a safe car.
