We went here because there was a wobble and wup wup wup noise coming from one of our wheels.  After they put the car up on the lift and inspected it, they told us that we needed all new struts (front and rear), a new wheel, alignment, and balancing.  I think the estimate was about $1000 for all that.  Then I asked why they recommended replacing the front struts if the problem that caused the wheel to wear was in the back.  The explanation I got was that the front struts didn't *need* to be replaced, but they recommended it because of the struts' age.  That brought the total down to around $500.\n\nSo then I'm scratching my head wondering how the struts in the rear can be bad, because there's no noise or softness or weird bounce in the rear suspension (or the front, for that matter).  My gut told me to get a second opinion.\n\nSo we took the car out east to my wife's regular family mechanic.  He checks it out thoroughly, says the struts are all fine, replaces a bad wheel (a different one than that identified by Tire Kingdom), and balances/aligns all four wheels.\n\nAbout $280 later, the car drives great.\n\nNot sure what was going on at Tire Kingdom, maybe they just reached a bad diagnosis in good faith.  I'm just glad we took our car elsewhere.
