Hi Scotty,
I recently bought a 2010 Toyota Sienna LE with 125,000 miles. One owner, no accidents...according to Carfax.
I took my car in for a front wheel alignment at the dealership and was told that I needed to replace the oil cooler pipes and gaskets for $748.00, my question is, should I do it? Is it worth it?
I was also told that i need to replace the rear axle beam, both rear wheel bearings and center exhaust pipe for $7,969. I was told that if I keep the tires rotated as directed, I should be ok if I choose not to replace all that.
- I paid $8,000 from a fealerahip. The car runs great. AC and Heat work. If I hadn't been told about the needed repairs, I'd think the car was perfect, minus the scratches and dents! LOL

They are asking you to spend more on it than you paid for it? Stay away from the dealership.

The dealer is probably trying to rip you off. Take the vehicle to a good independent mechanic.

Hi,
I can guarantee that Scotty would say take it to an independent mechanic. I just watched his youtube video called "3 Mechanic scams caught on camera" (from 3 years ago, 2.6 mil views).
Go to #3, time code 16:15 and watch it.
Drive carefully just in case.
@skips-last-attempt It's helpful when members post direct links to Scotty's YT videos. Instead of posing a time code you can right click on Scotty's video, choose "copy video URL at current time" and post that link which will start the video at that time.
