Ok fellas...here's the scoop. According to Goodyear guys, 2 cv axle shafts need replacement. I've taken it to satan for recall before. I'm gonna try if they'll replace them for free.
Rotors are warped and pads have 10% left. I've never replaced rotors and pads before. I just thought they charge too much. 74 for rotors and 120 for pads.
Thermostat housing gasket is leaking coolant. They were gonna charge $65. Is this hard to do myself?
The service manager also said that when you lower your car, you need to upgrade the "strut mounts/plates". Is that true?

Prob not you will need to go to them tho >Rotors are warped and pads have 10% left. I've never >replaced rotors and pads before. I just thought they charge >too much. 74 for rotors and 120 for pads.
i bet you have them mixed up cause thats a shit load of money man... 74 bucks for rotors isnt bad but there are better places online to buy them from, get cross drilled slotted rotors, brake pads 120 bucks! what the hell... go to a auto place and get some pads for 40 bucks for the back and 40 for the front and do it your self, its pretty easy... the rotors and the pads.. if you did the shocks your self you can def do this
>Thermostat housing gasket is leaking coolant. They were >gonna charge $65. Is this hard to do myself?
... again another easy thing to do.. 2 bolts to take off the housing get the gasket put some gasket stuff on it so it doesnt leak(i forget the name but its blue) and while your at it, replace the thermostat, its like 11 bucks

I just confirmed the prices and they were correct. The prices included labor and the pads are semi-metallic. Sounds like a rip-off, but I'm just not lucky to have all tools and time to replace them myself. I'll probably screw it up anyways.

Just was wondering if anyone else had this problem.

I got tokico blues and sportlines installed by a shop. Does any of those come with strut mount plate replacement? The shop asked me if that got replaced when they installed the shocks and springs.
What does an aftermarket strut mount plate look like?
