      Trying to find a suspension shop that won’t just throw parts at the problem and charge me for guessing

      I’ve got a 2014 Lexus LS that’s developed a bit of a shimmy at highway speeds and a slight clunk over rough patches and I’ve taken it to two different places already and the first one told me I needed all four shocks and control arms and basically a full front end rebuild and quoted me a number that seemed designed to make me trade the car in out of despair and the second place said it was just a wheel balance and maybe a tie rod end and sent me on my way but the shimmy is still there and now I’m just frustrated because I don’t mind paying to fix what’s actually broken but I’m tired of paying for guesswork dressed up as diagnostics. I started looking for Trusted suspension repair services Dubai that actually take the time to put the car on a lift and show you the worn bushing or the leaking strut instead of just handing you a printed estimate with a bunch of line items that may or may not be necessary and a deadline to approve the work before they move on to the next car. At this point I’d rather drive a bit further and pay a fair rate for someone who treats my car like a machine that needs specific repairs rather than a blank check with four wheels and I’m hoping there’s a shop out there that understands older luxury sedans and doesn’t just see a ten year old car and assume I’m desperate or clueless because I’m neither I’m just tired of the runaround and I want my steering wheel to stop vibrating at a hundred and twenty. Anyone else just completely burnt out on the upsell culture at some of these places or am I just getting old and grumpy about how things used to be when a mechanic would actually talk to you like a human being and show you the problem with a flashlight and a straight face.
