Possible Unnecessary Repairs

I was looking for a Jeep mechanic last year May 2022 and they came highly recommended. I took my 2008 Jeep Wrangler 4 door diesel in for a service and walked out with a bill of just under R30K. Service, cam belt, brakes, steering box, BALL JOINTS and catalytic converter. This year June 2023, I went back to them for a service and the bill was just over R38K. Service, Rear main oil seal, BALL JOINTS AGAIN @ R13K (explanation was that last year the ball joints were not replaced and the invoice was incorrectly made out, they said I was UNDERCHARGED), crank sensor, gearbox service, alternator pulley. It appears that the mechanics are instructed to find faults and repair as much as possible and to charge for same.

The Jeep has been giving problems since same came back from the service and was sent to another mechanic who was shocked at the amounts charged on the 2 accounts. The Jeep now had to be sent to gearbox specialists to have a sensor replaced.
