CV Joint Boot - Driver's Side

I took my Yaris in for an oil change today, of course they do the 14 point inspection for free

And of course, they found something even though I have only 38,500 miles on my car. Told me my driver's side boot is slightly torn and it will cost $371.00 to replace the boot only. Then they start the scare tactics which if I don't HURRY like in the next week or 2, that my axle could seize while driving.

So I got home and called CarX and the guy told me they normally don't replace a boot only, they replace the entire shaft and it will be $235.00. I told him it was a Yaris but being Saturday he seemed to be in a hurry.

I think I read here where you can't buy an aftermarket axle?

First a clutch throwout bearing going out earlier this year and $850.00 for that at Toyota....now this. I treat my cars gently and I don't know why this is happening when I kept my last car, a 1997 Chevy Cavalier for 13 years and it still had boots in good shape when I traded it in.

I know for certain this will be my first and last Toyota.
