Evaluate the repair prices
Just got my car serviced and the mechanic gave me this list of recommended repairs for my toyota Aurion 2007 sportivo. I’m trying to work out:which items are genuinely urgent, whether the pricing seems fair, whether anything here looks excessive/unnecessary.
Car still drives okay overall but I do notice some vibration/brake pulsation when braking and occasional knocking sounds from the front. maybe a bit more engine vibration than before.
Recommended repair prices:
Front tyres low tread (245/45/17)
~$200 each
Front tie rod ends and rack ends have freeplay
~$495
Front brake pads low and discs pulsating
~$595
Front lower ball joints worn
~$330
Front sway bar links knocking
~$395
Top engine steady mount broken
~$295
Main belt and tensioner noisy
795
Headlight polish and clear coat
~$129
Main thing I’m unsure about is the engine mount quote and whether all these suspension items are normal at this mileage or if I should get a second opinion. Told me around 3000 around in cash.
