<prompt> Human: Took my Toyota into the shop today because it had been whining on cold start. Turns out my power steering rack gear assembly had been leaking fluid.The dealership quoted me 2250 to replace the assembly, add new fluid, replace a belt, and align my tires. I told him it was too much and he offered to delay replacing the belt and quoted me 1950. Then I asked if there was any sort of discount he could apply and he got me to 1750. Still hurts but 500 in savings is not bad. Serves as a good reminder that you can always ask for a discount, especially on big purchases.  <response>: I took my then 2007 mercedes gl450 to dealership to check the whining on steering too, quote was 11700 for a whole steering rack replacement. They also insisted i leave the car with them otherwise its too dangerous to drive. Told them to get fucked. Got it fixed at a local shop for 700. Been fine for 5 next years i owned it
