Pete, I think I'd get a second opinion.
As a college student having one new tire mounted on my 1964 Pontiac LeMans, the Goodyear dealer showed me that my ball joints were shot and a wheel would likely fall off very soon. With the car on a lift he shook the wheel up and down and scared the heck out of me. I drove it home, 67 miles, very carefully and told my Dad. He was hot at that Goodyear dealer. Dad knew what I didn't, that particular action is normal for GM vehicles of that vintage. Nothing wrong with it. Some dealer just look to make money.
We also have a 2004 Ford Focus Wagon. The heat on the driver's seat quit. It acted to me like a switch. The nearby dealer looked at it and told me it needed two new seats with heating units and one switch. $955. I walked. Later I pulled the switch and could see it was defective. I bought the part for $38 and tax and it has worked fine ever since.
I'd recommend a second opinion.
