i wanted my local mechanic, to install set of springs and shocks on my 94 accord 4 dr, what would be a fair price?

he is a very good mechanic, but it is not a performance shop, he said it would be cheaper to do it at a performance shop, but i rather get it done from him as he does all my work, i am in northern VA

thank you

 

anyone?

 

what ever the charge is an hour, performance shop around $70 but its about a 2 hour job...i say diy you'll get the experience

 

no time, no place, he quoted me 250

 

that's kinda expensive..you could probably save your self a moths gas if you went somewhere else

 

You can usually find someone to do it for around $50-60 bucks.

Try a small speed shop during the mid-week during the day when they're slow.
Like on a taco tuesday.

 

shops around queens ny charge 140-160 around my way,,, even at junk yards they charge 45$ each spring.

50-60 bucks, not around here brother, i got a quote of 180 from a performance shop but i will let my tech do it, thanks all for the replies..

 

You can do it yourself for free -- just let the air out of your tires. [/rimshot] Thanks everybody, I'll be here all week. Be sure to tip your waitresses, they are working hard for you!

Seriously, if they just want $180 and you really want it lowered, I'd just go with that.

 

180 is a fair price, 3 hours at 60 an hour. Honda wanted to charge me between 400-460, depending on who I got on the phone.

 

Find someone locally thats willing to do it for you? NOt a shop but a person with skills? But yea those prices do seem kinda high and if you want to drop it that bad I guess you can go with the 180 as people are saying.
