Its an 09 toyota corolla. I have 190k miles on my car and really haven't had any major issues. I nailed a huge pot hole a while back and it started the rattle on the front driver side.
The price turned out to be ok. I am not mad about what i paid. I got both sway arms replaced as well as my oil changed while i was there and a lug nut replaced because i broke it off when i did my rotors. I also got my transmission fluid switched. It didn't need a flush, you actually can't flush it but with the high mileage it was rather burnt so i knew i needed it done so i went ahead with that too.
All in all it was $602. So not bad just frustrating.
Got off the phone with the mechanic who does work on my car my dad's 2 cars my step moms car my brothers car. We trust him for the most part but its still never easy to swallow when the problem isn't fixed.
But he said the sway arm was def needed. So once the sound was still there he wanted to do struts and mounts. I at least know that struts and mounts aren't necessary fixes unless im leaking or bottoming out. But its will at worst make my ride uncomfortable but its not going to break my car. So i said no to fixing them. Not to mention i have 190k miles so if the car only makes it 225 or so...i don't need to be dumping money into it

I always hate telling the customer the bill when its high. We are honest though we don't try to sell customers stuff they don't need. Always got to ask yourself before repairs is the car worth it or would I be better off getting a new car.

Now back to finding another job... It's cool but I don't think I'll stay too long. I've had better opportunities so I'm still gonna way my options heavy.
But a checks a check... Gotta get it.

In the future you feel the cost to fix it too much. Go find the parts yourself . I bet money the parts are cheaper than what the mechanic is gonna buy so you'll just give em the parts and just pay for labor.
With these things there's slot of money involved so follow your guts. Back when I was trying to pass inspection the mechanic I go to regularly handed me a 700 dolla bill to replace a part. Looked it up myself and found it for 150 gave em that part and another one I need it.
Went to go pick it up after it got fixed to see the 150$ part I "needed " was still in the car in the box. Bill came out to 60 bucks. So yeah
Follow your gut and buy your own parts if things get expensive.

I don't understand how some celebrities don't fix their teeth after they make it big. Example Michael Strahan & Becky G. Becky G be fine if she got that gap fixed. Girl's teeth be looking like a jr. high dance boys on the one side girls on the other.

Da worst part of a funeral has to be da damn singing. Some how everyone else knows all the words to all the damn songs and a papi just has to stand there like :\ |I . The fake *** "omg, it's been so long, you've gotten so big, I remember when you were thiiiiiiss big and still cried for your mommy to pick you up, tell your mom we need to keep in touch" 
that's almost da same exact thing you said when a papi saw you six years ago at da last funeral .
