Yup. Back in the mid '80's I encountered this situation. Geez, take a
company vehicle with 40K on it in for a LOF and they call back telling me I
needed
new tie rod ends, u-joints and a muffler.
Beware that in central Iowa they now carry the Freedom Tire moniker.
Of course, the local Firestone and Tires+ stores try to pull the same BS.
Buyer beware.

Gal I knew showed up one night in tears over the safety inspection hit list
they gave her on a car she'd just bought. Six pages long. It was so bad
it
was downright funny. She needed new tires, new doors, new windows, new
fenders, new shocks, new springs, new radiator, new exhaust, new lights, new
hood, new window cranks, new steering wheel, new gauges, new seats, new seat
belts, new bumpers, new engine, new transmission, new differential, new
waterpump, new alternator, new wipers, new horn, etc, etc, etc.
After we calmed her down, and spent a long time laughing at the incredible
list Goodyear came up with, we sent her to a friends shop. I think she
needed a set of shocks, nothing more.
