What year is your Navigator, and does the suspension warning ever show up on the dash? Also, does the bounce happen all the time or only after it's been sitting overnight? That would tell you a lot about whether it's a leak or the dampers themselves.

Is the scuff through the paint to bare plastic, or just marks sitting on the surface? And has the bumper cracked or deformed at all? That decides whether it's a quick polish, a spot repair or a full respray.

Quality replacement parts matter a lot for steering components since cheap tie rod ends or rack bushings wear out faster under normal driving loads. Asking what brand of parts they use before agreeing to any work is a reasonable question any honest workshop will answer directly. A place that gets defensive about that question is usually worth skipping.

Had a cheap plastic pallet crack on me after a rocky trail near Hatta, wasn't even that overloaded. Went back to steel frame after that, more weight but I stopped worrying about it snapping under the toolbox.

Which workshop was it, and what did they charge for the front pads on the Camry? Also, how many km is it on, and did they do the rears at the same time?

Word of mouth from someone who's had the specific work done on a similar vehicle is honestly more reliable than online reviews for this kind of specialist service. Your friend's recommendation of the Industrial Area 4 shop sounds worth following up on directly. A place that gave clear communication and proper diagnostic work once is likely to do the same again.
