The last time I ran into this was a couple of years ago. I had a '91 legend and the guy took it to an acura dealership. One of the cv joints had a tear in the boot, no clicking, no nothing so I wasn't aware, otherwise I would have fixed it
They made it into a two part thing, first talking about the boot that is torn exposing the cv joint to dirt and moisture, then talking about the cv joint that is about to fail because of exposure as if they were completely separate issues and would cost thousands to fix. Then the best one ever, they said that the oil pan had been cracked at some point and welded back together. I refused to let the customer leave, put the car on a lift and explained to them that I could replace the cv joint in 30 minutes and take out half the stuff on the list, and then the "welded" oil pan was nothing more than the seam where the molds came together (cast aluminum pan) I didn't lose that sale because the people were smart and willing to listen and take a look for themselves but I couldn't believe a tech at an acura dealership could be stupid enough to say that the pan had been welded together
