Pho So 1 on Broad

I was put in this position a few years ago too. Yes you can take it somewhere else. They will put a “rejection” sticker on and might give you a bunch of warnings but don’t say anything and get your car. When I went to a second place one major thing did actually need to be replaced but the second mechanic showed me and explained in detail. The rest was “recommended” work. Many of these things on your list are “recommended” for 70k but might not specifically be needed. The alarm for me would be they texted you this info right before close, that doesn’t seem like decent service. No, you’re not TA. I’ve been there. Incidentally I took mine in for inspection today and many of these things are not on the list of what’s checked by VA. Based on what you listed, I have an idea of where you might have gone, because many of them were on my list when my car was at 70k. If it’s a local “chain”, I suggest going elsewhere. I started going to All Good Automotive II based on a recommendation and while small, they’ve been honest to me. I hope you get things worked out. Never hurts to get a second opinion for these things.
