I don't have much time for working on my jeep these days. So when my brake pedel dropped a bit and the light came on I took it to a reputable shop to have it looked at. I also asked him to check the cooling system for I suspected that the radiator was starting to split from where the water was leaking on the side.
So the guy calls me and says the rear wheel cylinder blew and I need rear shoes $250. That the radiator is splitting, needs replacement and the Serpentine Belt needs replacement $500. With an oil change he is charging me $800 for all of this.
Now I expect that the guy is going to make a good dollar off of me and I have to pay for the diagnostic but $500 for a radiator and belt. Isn't this a bit much?
