Default Please Help!!! Need Honest truck repair!

Hello!! I am a female with a 2003 dodge 2500 with some pretty sever front end noises! Now taking a large truck to any auto shops they always try to take advantage and charge me insane prices because im a woman! If someone can recommend an honest, quality service and good prices shop to take my truck to I would appreciate it. I live in Hampton VA so anywhere in the Tidewater area would be good for me to take it. I dont mind a little bit of a drive if its quality workmanship!

Thanks for your help!

At close to 10 years old, ball joint, tie rod, U-joints, etc. are probably about due and not uncommon at all.

Hopefully someone near your area will pop in with a good shop that won't gouge you.

I do 90% of my own work and have done a lot of mods/repairs for members on here, often for a good meal or even a pizza and a case of beer - but you're a bit far from me, LOL...

Agreed, do all my own work as well but no where near VA. Try our member map and see if you can find anyone close to that area. Its worth a shot.

Magnet on a string..... TO THE FRIDGE! (Remember to grab a beer on your way back)

Might need a solid copper wire so you can get it to go where you want it to go.
