I went to the mechanic the other day after realizing that I needed to replace the ball joints on my '98 Mountaineer. He quoted me $65 x 2 for the uppers, and $55 x 2 for the lowers, plus $150 in labor for a total of $390.

I don't have the time or know-how to replace them myself, so I brought the truck in today under the impression that he was replacing only the ball joints. He calls me to pick it up and I return to find that he has only replaced the lower ball joints at a price of $89 x 2, replaced the tie-rod end at $65, and charged the normal labor fee for a total of $410.01

unfortunately, in a rush, I didnt look at the receipt until I got home. The truck still makes a "thunking" noise when I hit road bumps too.

Was I just screwed over?
