I have a call into the service manager that I have a longer relationship with (the SA I had never dealt with) and she tried calling me back 4 times when I was away from my desk, so it will be interesting to see what she says.
The indie shop said the CV boot was like a $300-400 job, certainly not a $1,000 unless they were doing a whole lot more work.
I baby this car, always have, so I'm a bit shocked at most of this. Sure the brakes wear out, I understand that - but all the other stuff there really hasn't seemed to be a reason it's all happening all of a sudden.
It will be interesting to see what the indie shop say's on Tuesday.

$300-400 for a CV boot job is dirt cheap... Define "job"..... that could be only for one side... or only the outer boots... There are both inner and outer, and if you replace them both, that's at least 4 hours or so in labor + parts... Indies are cheaper than the dealer but not 70% cheaper..
