Need help with Power Steering

RE: Need help with Power Steering
Well I had taken it to Audi in Concord, biggest ****** ever, and they said
"You have a blown pump and you need a new steering rack because when the pump died it sent metal flakes though out the power steering system and that as a precaution you should have the rack replaced."
I later that day called Livermore Audi where I told them what had happened. The head of the service department then said,
“Hmm, that’s odd. I don’t know why they would have you put in a new rack. I’ve worked here for many years and I’ve never seen those power steering pumps put out flakes. But we can check it out for you.”
I think Concord was trying to rip me off. Oh and their price for replacing just the pump wasn’t $120 more than at Livermore or anything… Those ********.
So I don’t know, I think I’m going to replace the pump and see what happens.
