"My dealer handed me a big list of 'recommended' work. Trueaxle told me half of it could wait and I ended up paying a fraction. They didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need."

Before you sign that estimate
Got a scary quote from the dealer? Get a second opinion first.
Dealerships are famous for the long list of "recommended" work. A lot of it can wait — and some of it you never needed. Bring us the estimate. We'll look at your car honestly and tell you what actually matters, and there's no diagnostic fee to find out.
"My dealer gave me a $3,000 list of work. Trueaxle told me half of it wasn't needed — I paid a few hundred. They didn't try to sell me things I didn't need."
