You may want to try 2 or 3 more shops to get a second opinion. Also, try bigger outfits like Pep Boys. The legal liability for fraud is so high in comparison to the benefit, that you'd get a straighter answer from those guys than from a one man shop.

The guy told me it would be about a $100 bucks to fix so I took the car in. The guy calls me back and says I need new brakes around...new rotors...new calipers...and a new drive axle...a little more than $1200 bucks. The car was working just fine...just had a noisy pulley. Mechanics are dangerous to ones bank account.
