Should have done the struts myself


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just had my rear struts done at a local shop and got robbed. They replaced both right/left struts and had to replace both mounts. The rear passenger strut broke through the mount and the other mount was just about to break through. They put Monroe Senso Tracs in which feel like stock...nothing special. Everything came out to $450 including tax. I told the guy to kick me in the nuts next time he told me the price so it wouldn't hurt as bad. I feel that it was a little steep unless if that isn't to bad I don't know. Now I think I have to replace the gas tank...this I might do myself :x

well if it was done to GM specs it would cost that much 1183 for all 4 to be done. but that included OEM GM shocks.

Monroes are a bit cheeper

 

i priced some at a local mom pop shop and they would do all 4 for ~750bucks. so yeah that does sound pretty steep but not far off.

Sheesh.. Midas said they'd do mine for $400. I had them put one in the '89 when I first bought it and it was only $70.. no complaints.
