Daughter's 2015 CX-5 touring. 114,000 miles. Just got new tires -- Michelin CrossClimate (she regularly drives to Michigan and Maine).
Notes from the garage's "start saving money" list were
-- Brake flush (dark fluid) $106.00
-- Both lower front control arms (bushing tearing) $730.00
-- Rear shocks (mileage/worn) $380
She's about to take off to Michigan for 6 months (works on schooners).
Which, if any of these things, should we get done right now before she leaves?
Do these prices look reasonable or do they send up any "flares"?
This is a garage we've been going to for years, but recent change in ownership and some staff. Should I go to dealership to have any of this done? Called one Mazda dealership and they said they only replace entire control arms, not just bushing. Quoted $1,1000 plus alignment.
I'll spend the money right now to get it done if any of this is something not to wait on.
Thoughts? Notes? Suggestions?
Thank you!
