I recently bought a 2010 Wrangler JKU in Ohio. Took it to a local Jeep dealer to get inspected in my home state of Pennsylvania. The dealer says I need $2000 worth of work. The rear brakes and rotors are “falling apart”, E-brake pads, ball joints, and axel joints all need replaced to pass the state inspection. Since I purchased a vehicle a month ago, I called the dealer and Ohio. He doubted that all of that actually need it done. So they picked up the jeep and took it back to Ohio.
The Ohio guy calls me and tells me I’ve been duped. The rear brakes were fine at 6:32 of an inch. The rotors were fine as well. The ball joints we’re OK. They are replacing one of the axle joints and the E brake pads. Then he says he’ll take it across the border and have it inspected for me before returning it.
Now on one hand I’m glad they are taking care of the work and getting it inspected for me. On the other hand I don’t know which dealer to believe? Is my local guy trying to rip me off because he knew I bought it out of state or is the Ohio guy just trying to get out of replacing some parts that are borderline?
Obviously I need a safe vehicle But being a very novice mechanic myself I wouldn’t know Which parts are bad to look at them. Very frustrating.
