Old Part? What Old Part?
If unconvinced an old part needed replacing, ask to see it or ask for the part back and check with another mechanic to see if the work was necessary. Mechanics will usually give you the old part, but hit you with a “core charge” because they won’t get the broken part to rebuild for resale.
The Car Needs Synthetic Oil
Consider this one carefully. High-performance and luxury cars usually require synthetic oil, but it’s far from mandatory. Synthetic oil does have benefits — longer life and longer periods between oil changes — but older cars sometimes don’t react well to it. Consult a car manual and consider the cost. Synthetic oil tends to be a bit pricier.

If you have a flat and the the other tires are good can the dealer refuse to just sell you one tire or will you have to change all four tires. I went to NH for a wedding and got a flat
the mileage on my car was 20,150 miles for the old tires . I tried to buy one tire in NH state. the tire refuse to sell me one tire and I had to purchase four new tires for my 2017 Lexus The owner of the store say that state law, is that true in NH
