Had a tire go low in pressure yesterday while at car wash. Aired it up and today looked ok. Went by dealer to have oil changed w a $20 coupon offer. Had them check the tire and they found a small crack about 1/2 long on the inside of the rim. Suggested a new rim but, one of the techs knows of a shop that can weld it before buying a new rim. Called them and dropped off the rim, its $125 and will get it back in 1-2 days. While they had the car up, they found my front left control arm is broken and needs replacing, the one on the right is fine. They recommended replacing both for $1k and then doing an alignment.
They also recommended to have the differential fluid replaced since the car has 103k miles.
Told him to write it up for me to review and have Kevin at Austin Z Clinic inspect it and give me a quote for the work.
Any feedback is appreciated.
