list the repairs they gave her w/ prices.
They didn't break down pricing, they just said that one of her CV boots were cracked, her driver's side brake caliper is leaking fluid, and all her rear suspension bushings are "cracked and need replaced." They said parts and labor would be $1300.

I realize the boot needs repaired, no questions asked. The brake caliper is not leaking, they just made that **** up. (we just replaced both calipers a month ago and over the phone I talked her through checking them herself and she said there is nothing out of the ordinary) I called my local Honda dealership and talked to the technician on duty. He said that in working there for 15 years, he's never seen a car that had to have cracked bushings done. She doesn't race, it's just a commuter to take her on a 20 minute round trip drive to and from work. So it's not like she's putting those bushings through a lot. I wouldn't think they'd need replacing unless they're actually missing!
