As i was turing a corner,my car came to a hault,the track rod end has broke or come of from the joint which is attached to the wheel.As their wasn't many garages open at the time the breakdown took it to their garage and told me they could fix it monday,anyway they have just got back to me saying it would cost £178.00. TRACK ROD END-£20.00
REPLACEMENT OF GAITER ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT DAMAGED
GEOMETORY-£40.00
Parts cost about£70.00,labour was £70-£80 plus vat.Am i being ripped off.I had no choice but to take it their at the time as the car wasn't driveble.I understand about replacing the track rod end as that is the problem why the car won't steer on the one side but i'm not sure about the goemetory whatever that is,can anyone help.
The wheel never collapsed as i was only going slow at the time but obviously when the track rod end broke or dislodged itself from the wheel,i was unable to steer it
