The told me my cobalt needed a bushing replaced and new tires. I got the tires and returned for the bushing repair later, at which point they told me the bushing was fine and I needed 2 control arms replaced and something else totaling over $900. I took my car to another auto shop for a second opinion/quote and they told me I just needed the tires balanced for $40 and the bushing and control arms were fine. After getting my tires balanced the shuddering issues I had been experiencing previously were completely resolved. Don't get ripped off by these guys...
Sorry you feel you where getting ripped off but we must clarify. Just because you where only trying to stop the shaking does not mean your car does not need the control arm bushings. This is why you needed tires, as they had unever wear pattern. Same reason if a car comes in for an oil change and we recommend wiper blades. The two are not related services but we disclose the needs of the car to the customer. Good luck.
