2001 dodge minivan

I sent my wife’s 01 dodge grand caravan to a friend who told us the van only needed tie rods and ball joints. A week after fixing those problems, we took the can in to for oil change in another garage. We were then told that the minivan needs control arm bushing which is going to cost $650.00. Are we being taken for a ride on the quoted price?

Get 3 quotes, then decide. Make sure all things are included in each quote equally when comparing them.

I’d agree, but instead of saying “three quotes” I’d say “three opinions” - i.e. take it to another shop and ask them to inspect the front end. Don’t say “I need new control arm bushings. How much?” Because what you really want to know is whether or not you need them at all.
