dealer ripoff ( prices high)

I had to get my front axle u-joint replaced, and didn't have the time to do it myself... i am a mechanic working lots of hrs... took it to Gainesville dodge.

They charged me 120 for the u-joint and 450 for the hub bearing assy. and a total of 975 inc labor..

I feel like they should have used a little lube.

Just venting... hate paying list for parts..

Tony
