text: Took Expedition in for inspection Got the call that everything passed except for front ball joints Cost Ball joints from Autozone cost each I asked the mechanic doing the inspection how far out of spec the joints were He could not give me a spec Only that in his opinion it was too loose I told them I would get the work done myself citing the cost of the ball joints to which he replied well we are not the lowest cost on the block nnI got the joints replaced for of the estimate from Firestone And mechanics that I went to both indicated they would not have failed the inspection for those jointsnnSo here is the point My experience with this shop might be out of the ordinary but it is the experience you dread when taking your automobile in for a mandated inspection My advice is to get a second opinion when a shop like this springs something like this on you Unfortunately most people just pay the price and go on If you are able to get a second opinion I would encourage itnnThe workers at this shop are friendly Like I said I hope my experience was an anomaly But I will not be back even though the location is very convenient to where I live nnBtw The truck passed inspection when I took it back in
