Hello guys new guy here found this forum through a google search. I have a 2008 LTZ with a 5.3 Flex engine. I recently had an issue with my front struts took the truck in to the local pepboys in my area that I never had an issue with.
However after telling them I had a leak coming from the front struts, and I also asked them to do a tune up on my engine since she hit over 103,000 miles. They called me with a good price of about $1,400.00 with parts and labor. After I agreed to pay the price they called me back within the hour to say oh the front struts are electrical and you gotta special order these struts from GM so I said weird but ok.
The next day the assistant manager called me up to give me the price of the struts and tune up with labor he said $2,400.00 ! I almost fell out of my chair and then I asked what the price of just the struts and tune up will be he said $1,700.00. I told him I would call him back on my decision.
Is this guy trying to blow me out for money or is this guy being truthful ? Also if there are any better places to order my struts from I am all ears thanks in advance for the help!
