So i was having some hesitation issues, so i took my car to R&S Strauss, asked them to look at it,, i also asked them to check out my suspension system, the car seems to have a bit more sway in turns. so the guy calls me an hour later, he wants $1200,, says all 4 struts should be changed, i asked if they were bad he said no, just work, and that it would be $600 for the struts, and that i also needed a tuneup, plugs, wire, cap/rotor and fuel filter, and that was another $550, i told him to take the car off the lift and i would pick it up in 20 minutes, do those prices seem excessive? the tune up i would do myself 'cept for the fuel filter, i hear thats a pain to get to

 

all the stuff isn't too hard to do yourself. you'll save a bunch on labor if you do. it just might take a while.

 

People are trying to scam you. Dont be stupid and do that just because thats what sone guy said. Just get a second opinion before you do anything.

 

Yes, thats expensive as hell. I dont know how mechanically inclined you are, but most of all that stuff is easy to do. The struts may be a little difficult to do if you dont know too much about cars.

You can get KYB AGX for about 300 on ebay. You can get the KYB GR2s for like 150.

 

600 for struts 600 will buy you the best ( agx ) and springs too !!! dont do it. There taking you for a longggg ride

 

holy double post.

the fuel filter isn't really hard to get to persay, but it's a pain in the ass to remove the bottom line.

 

shit $600 would buy him coils, you can get kyb agx for $275-300 for all 4 on ebay They're def tryin to stroke you, fawk them

 

is there a posting on a detailed step by step on changing the plugs, wires and cap/rotor on the 3.0?

 

Man, it seems like up north there are no reliable shops to go to like the guys on this board from NY/NJ/CT had mentioned.

 

i love jersey but i hate it im lucky i have hook-ups otherwise i would be up sh*ts creek. there are spots that do good work but they charge $$$

 

Any good shop is mucho $$$$
