recall notice or will soon. before you bring your car to a d.c. area dealer for free repair i want to explain why you should watch your wallet. scott like millions of drivers received a letter saying his takata air bag could be dangerous and on the list for a free replacement. when he brought his car in -- >> i went to order the parts, because they didn't have it in. but they told me i needed some work on front end specifically, part of the suspension. john: he reluctantly agreed to the extra work. the receipt shows he ended one new axle boot and other things for a grand total of $922. but that wasn't the end of it. a few weeks later when the ne >> they presented me with a recommendation for a lot of other work. $2,000 worth of work. john: $2,000 more after he is just paid $900? here is what you need to know. when you bring your car in for an air bag recall or any recall the dealer will do a safety inspection. they don't want to send you out on highway in a dangerous vehicle. but the recommendations are just recommendations. you don't have to pay. scott decided to take his car to an independent repair shop instead. >> they came out that the other repairs recommended only $300 needed to be done. john: "consumer reports" magazine says some dealership exploit safety recall as marketing hook to sell additional repair work. so it says check the car's handbook to see if a service is really due. if it's really big money get a second opinion. as scott did. we are not accusing any car dealers of ripping anyone off. your car may need brakes or other work. but don't be embarrassed to say you will get a seco opinion from another shop so you don't waste your money. i'm john matarese, abc7 news. michelle: next at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- a wayward sea lion pup rescued.
