Default Dealer making me replace axle...

Hey guys I have a quick question.

I am trying to get my 2009 Honda Civic registered in Utah from California. So I took my car today to a local Honda Dealer to get my safety and emissions inspected.

So the guy walks up to me and tells me my car failed...Apparently my front axle was making "noise" and this is a safety hazard. So he tells me they are ordering a new axle and it will be here by 8am tomorrow, I brought my car in around ~3pm.

Can anyone tell me if this guy is screwing me? Everything is covered under warranty so I'm just wondering if they are doing this to make a buck for the dealer/service department? Also since when does it take 8 hours to ship and deliver a brand new axle? I know I shouldn't have gone to a dealer, but it was the cheapest and closest (walking distance) to my place.

What do you guys think? I haven't heard or felt a thing..
