advice sought - my very local skoda dealer - who i should maybe not name check for the moment - 3 times now my car has gone in for minor works and 3 times

they're assessment of the work has been erroneous or exaggerated.

this time they said all front wishbones needed replacing when only the front suspension ball joint needed doing. although their fee to assess problem was £45 ?

what would you do ?

doesn't seem right to me that a main skoda dealers taking advantage in this way
