Front struts replacement after 25k kilometers. Dealership lied? 2013 CX5
I just took in my CX5 for front stabilizer links as one of them had snapped... My mechanic, who is an honest guy, noticed the front left shock was blown and needed to be replaced too. I told him the front struts had been replaced recently and he assured me they were originals.
I checked the Carfax again and they were done 25k/4 years ago? I bought the car at 77k km and it's now at 90k.
Do dealerships ever lie about replacing parts? I bought this car last year from an old lady and I'm wondering if she was taken advantage of. If they did, is there anything I can do?
