I just got new tires. The mechanic told me that I need new ball joints, bearings and seals. The total cost is 1,051.58. How much time do I have to get this fixed? What would happened if I don't fix it in time? I don't hear any sound or feel anything wrong with the car.

Well, if the ball joint come apart you will lose your steering and you can guess what can happen then. At the very least you can wear out the new tires. I would get a second opinion on just how bad they are. They wouldn't be the first shop to greatly exaggerate failures.

Just curious - How is it that it needs all of that all at once? Could be so but I find that unusual,
