Quoted for coilover install

Curious if what I was quoted is fair and what have most people paid for an Indy shop..

Coilover install = $200
Corner balance, Alignment = $200

Out the door ~$400...

THanks!

Cool thanks for the input! I've used him for all my vehicles (Tires and Suspension) dating back to the late 90s. He's one of the best around town, very knowledgeable and his prices typically will beat out most online retailers.

That's extremely cheap. The area I live in has the highest cost of labor in the nation so your numbers are pretty much unheard of here.

Is this in Milwaukee area? That seems like a fair price but again your post is from a few years back.

That is a really low quote. I would be wary.

edit I see this is an old post wonder if the user got it done and is happy with the results.

If you know the shop and their work, this is a very fair price.

I called all around town, and I got a quote for $500-600 for install which seems expensive for my area.

Get a few more quotes, that seems high.
