Does that include the spherical bearing or just the seals? What about the cost of fluid?

 

Just the seals and oil, but the bearing is like $8.00

Fok man, you paid him that? I'd at least shop for something cheaper. Is $600 for all four?

Wonder why they don't sell the misalignment spacers for the bearings too, I just reused mine because the ones I bought ended up being the wrong size.

 

He paid $600 for the coilovers and rear shocks, not the rebuild

 

Yesss

I haven’t paid him yet

 

Huh, thought he paid $400.

 

Oh woops

Damn

Yeah that's too much

 

I paid 400 for coil overs and shocks, that what I was told it’d cost to rebuild

 

Fair enough.. I saw your receipt, thats looks like you got one hell of a deal. Not saying 600 is reasonable but given that price for all 4 seems like a good deal to me since he's not providing the seal kit like you did.

Also given original purchase price+cost of fuel to retrieve.. he's making out at over half the cost of buying brand new.


Unless rebuild dude comes back and says shafts are too pitted to rebuild and he has to pay a diagnostic fee with no rebuilt shocks

 

My bad... Yeah that's crazy I'd get that done elsewhere

 

Ehhh... it's not the best price. $150 per shock. You should be paying closer to $100-125 per shock with new oil, seals, and bearings. But you got them for so cheap it evens out.

 

I’ll see what he says.

then I’ll make him take the bearing off cause that’s easy

 

From three different shops and I was quoted an average price of $85 to service each shock. Two different shops quoted me $60 just to replace the reservoir and the third didn't want to quote me on the reservoir alone in case he saw any other work I might need.

This was just a few days ago as I need to take one of my shocks in next week to get work done.

 

Really? 600 for all 4 shocks is 150 per to include parts and labor... it's only about a 50 dollar labor increase over what Tyler paid

 

Hmmmm

 

You should check out the shop I used, Rock and Road Performance in Loomis, CA outside Sac.

 

I guess I'm smoking crack then.. thats cheap

 

I thought the $75 per shock he charged me was really reasonable. 24 hour turnaround too and I got a personal tour of his shop, lol.
