Possible yes, probable no. What is most likely happened is he told her the CV boots in both front axles are torn/broke/exposed. This is easily identifiable by excessive grease on the inside of your front rims if it's the outer CV boots. The best solution is to have the axle replaced, but a less costly option is to have the boot replaced. The labor hours are the same but parts cost are cheaper. The con of doing a CV boot replacement is that you don't know what dirt has gotten into the CV joint that could cause failure down the road. Even if they clean the CV joint there is no way of seeing how badly damaged the bearings in the CV joint are. So axle replacement is more expensive but also offers more peace of mind. hope that helps
