..to get suspension work done? This guy wants to charge me $280 to put on my springs and shocks. it includes an alignment. is that good?

 

I don't think that's a bad price for springs AND shocks, including an alignment. I know Park Ave. Acura charges $220 just for the springs. Of course that's a dealer, so the price is higher, but you're getting everything else for only $80 more.... sounds pretty decent. Hopefully one of these guys will chime in with some more prices....

 

So that's labor only, not the actual springs and shocks?

I figure that they aligment is probably around $50-$60 or so, so the labor for the springs is around $230. Hmmm... I'll have to look around. I paid $125 to have my struts/coilovers put on my del Sol. Maybe CLs have more labor involved? If they are going to do the springs, they can just as easily do the shocks, so that should not realy be more labor.

 

If I remember correctly I think it was 130 for the springs to be installed and then 70 for an alignment so I would that is about right.

 

well im paying for $65 for just labor of installing springs...which i thought was kinda expensive...cuz im pretty sure i could get it for like 40 or 45 or something...but man 230? thats a lot...alignment shouldnt be more than 70 ...im getting mine for like 20 cuz its at my uncles shop..so im lucky hehehe :p

 

I think the cost is appropriate.. you figure most places charge $60 or more per hour... figure atleast 2hrs... sounds good to me...

 

true im satisfied hehe

 

Yeah, I know an alignment should costs around 60, so that makes the install 230. That f-king expensive. I should go somewhere else.

 

yea you should try to go either elsewhere or see if they will hook you up with a deal...thats expenisve labor man

 

Pricing cant be that far off in comparison to our geograpghic regions... $230 is cheap for an install in NY.... I gotta move to a cheaper state!!!!
