Even with an alignment, that's still expensive.

thats not too bad if its a shop.

If that includes alignment.

I fi did i: 100 plus 100 for alignemnt :200 total

so they are charign 125 extra. think of shop overhead. you can't expect work for free. :p

unless its a DIY local person who cna charge cheaper.

Most shops here will do it for as little as $220 and as high as $300 and that includes an alignment. They have already factor in their shop overhead in these prices.

This shop is on the high side. You can get it done in the low $200 range.

This is the reason I'm doing mine myself. My shop quoted me ~$200 just for the labor, and that was them giving me a good deal. It is a pain in the butt to be fair
