I helped my son buy a 2014 Soul 3 years ago. It has 45,000 mile son it, many highway, and the clutch has failed. The dealer told him he needed a new clutch and should replace the starter at the same time: $1800. An independent shop with a good reputation has no idea why the suggest replacing the starter and quote $1123.31 without.
Anyone have any idea why the starter should be replaced, and why the clutch went out at only 45K? Any reason he should pay a premium to work with the dealer?
His first car was a used Ford Focus stick and he it was still good when he sold it at 65K. He doesn't drive it hard or ride the clutch. Thanks for any feedback.
