I know you techs are busy and honestly I could not exist without you and genuinely appreciate what you all do! I just need to know if I was taken advantage of today. I feel like I was but if you guys set me straight I'll eat it and chill out! Can you ball park this for me? This was not my usual shop and I really went here because they have a nice wheel balancer! Then all the rest came about because I figured hey man I am here so lets get stuff taken care of!
1.) Balance left front steer.
2.) new front air lines.
3.) Front drive axle wheel seals/yolk seal/drums/shoes/diff fluid.
4.) Leveling valve (air bags were not filling).
5.) Tail lights were not working. Stop/turn/hazards were fine.
Just a heads up they had 5 hours for tail lights and the front air lines. These are 2 things I would normally do myself but figured hey man they have it in there and lets just get it done.
I found out today at 4pm the truck was done Saturday but no one called me and I for sure lost a load today (Monday) because of that. I only found out at 4 because I finally got worried and called them!
I didn't want to call them and bug them and figured for sure they would notify me when it was done.
I honestly don't mind paying we are all in this together but I also don't want to get screwed....I can't afford it and it doesn't feel good! LOL.
I'll give you my price once I hear some input from ya'll.
Thanks for taking the time if you can!
I hate to bug you guys...

Mattflat362 Thanks this. -
No not bulbs ....they traced a broken wire. And the air lines are 12" long right at the steer wheels. Mine did not leak air but looked old so I figured why not change them.
