Price on install.

I got a price quote of $330 to have my new leaf packs and shocks installed. They said that they would throw in a free alignment. Is this a reasonable price? I've never had this type of work done so I don't have any idea what this would cost.

 

That's about right with alignment. I wouldn't consider the alignment free. I was charged 250 for install of aal and shocks plus 80 for alignment so 330 is right there.

 

Nothing is ever free. lol Thanks for the reply Ghost.

 

pretty good price

 

You think that price would be the same at a toyota dealership?

 

At my shop i usually would charge around $175 to r&r some leafs and rear shocks.. Alignment would be an additional $79
So its not crazy out of line, but I think that if you tried to bargain a little w/ the times being the way they are they should go down.. No one here on the west coast at least is busy enough to really not bargain a little.. Really a pretty easy job that can be done in probably an hour w/ a lift plus the alignment.. Going rate for automotive hourly is around $79-$90hr..

good luck

 

Depends. My Toyota dealer charges $95/hourly. By comparison, the performance truck shop down the street charges $75/hourly.

 

Ok then, so its basically the same, and if you can bargain might as well try and save a couple bucks.

 

I work for this guys dad and thought maybe he would give me a decent deal since he owns a shop. He quoted me $500 for install of my lift, no alignment included. I said hell with that and me and my cousin banged it out in 2 hours.
