I am a senior citize went to midas for a oil change and to get my car inspected. I was told I had a broken spring. I was given an estimate gor 2 springs, struts,sway bar kit and 4 wheel alingnment and a sway bar kit.I did not get the alignment as they wanted 208.00 more for that.
The total bill came to 643.95 without tax.
I got the work done as they removed my inspection sticker.
I called the Ford Dealership and they said all I needed was the springs replaced and there bill would have been 304,00 plus tax. Even if they put in struts would hsve been only 453.00 They said sometimes they replace struts but only if needed,and could see no reason for the sway bar.
It is very hard being on a fixed income I had to borrow the money and realy feel that I was ripped off.
