Suggestion

Once I knew what I was doing I could get a rear shock removed and a new one in in about an hour, might be a reasonable quote if you're just replacing the rear shocks and not the front struts.

If you're replacing shocks and struts, I'd highly recommend the ROW M030 kit, lowers the front by about an inch, and just a bit in the rear.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

1999 carrera 4 cab. Car is at the mechanic getting final inspection. Shock mounts bad and shocks recommended to be changed. He said he can do it all for about $1200. That's $1000 in parts and $200 labor. He said is only takes 3-4 hours to do. This seem toor cheap?

POST 2Original post

The shop is in Mexico? Does sound very cheap but maybe he's a super wrench and can do it in 2hrs.

POST 4Original post

My mechanic quoted $700 just in labor to install my ROW M030 kit. If you're replacing shocks and struts, I'd highly recommend the ROW M030 kit, lowers the front by about an inch, and just a bit in the rear. Similar feel to the stock suspension, but much more level in corners.

POST 5Original post

Once I knew what I was doing I could get a rear shock removed and a new one in in about an hour, might be a reasonable quote if you're just replacing the rear shocks and not the front struts.

POST 6Original post

I did the RowM030 last yr at 60k miles. The least expensive option compared to other set ups. Very pleased overall. Lowered front 1" and rear 1/2". Car handles solidly and front end float gone. Parts were about $1300 - struts, springs, sway bars and bushings. Labor was 6 hours w/ a good alignment - about $1k. Well worth the investment on my '04 C2Cab. The quote you have seems low considering all that needs to be done. At best it would be 1 hr. / wheel and alignment. also, what parts are being used to replace old suspension?

POST 7Original post

Related question guys: I'm unfamiliar with the Row stuff...is anybody using H&R springs and Billie Sport shocks? I have a leaky shock and will be looking at something soon. I have experience with that setup only... thankyouallsoverymuch lol

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

These are for the front. He quoted using bilstein shocks and oem strut mounts. Does not include alignment. I think he got the prices wrong. He charged about $200 each for the strut mounts and $500 for the shocks. I think he meant $500 per shock. But was firm with only about 3 hours labor. He said he just did a set this week.
