Well, I think it's about 150-300 depending on where you go... that' what I've heard

I do it myself. Come on, its not that hard. Its a good bonding experience with your car, and a chance to get your hands dirty.

i got quoted 500+ from a "reputable" shop, i think thats just crazy... and then an extra about 150 for an alignment.. my car is a bmw not a dam lambo or anything.

my personal mechanic will do it for 100 but i just wanted to get the drop and alignment all killed on one day/stop..

$400 at an independent shop + $150 to the dealer for alignment

Grab a spring compressor and have at it over a weekend. Real easy to do once you get over the fear.

from where?

DJKhan85 · 08-22-2009, 11:33 AM

Autozone's around here(MA) loan you one and you just return it when done. No need to pay. I have also seen spring compressors at Sears for approx. $50.
