Well...mine ended up just above $1,100 ... they replaced the struts in the front of the van...and brakes... the "parts" were covered by the parts company even though they were out of warranty (13 months old).
Well dh and I drove the van on Thursday and the steering wheel started squeaking...more we drove the more it started squeaking (different sound than before that was a more deep sound)...well drove it back to the shop and they could hear it. Just on the driver's side. They took it apart...put it together...the owner didn't like the sound of it...took it apart again and changed parts again and put it back together...didn't like it still...so he called someone higher up in the parts company and requested a "one piece strut" which he said was higher priced...but because of all the troubles...they are providing the parts to us. ...so we borrowed the owner's pick up truck for the weekend...which worked out for us because dh had to go to Lowes and pick up wall board, 2x4's, and a door.
Still waiting on the call to say my van is ready...hoping ALL of this is covered under the previous charge!!
