Hey Bernard,

to install this springs it will take about 7-8 hours plus an alignment, our labor rate is $105 an hour and the alignment will be around $140. We do have a military labor rate we would charge you 85 an hour plus $140 for the alignment. Thank you for your services and have a nice holiday.


Now i know that these springs or any springs in this case do not take 7-8 hours to install. The rear springs are almost effortless and the front are just a bit harder. What do you guys think? I replied back to them saying i just want the install because I'm going to wait a couple hundred miles after the install for an alignment. Any one can recommend a shop around central new jersey or within 50-60 miles away? Or should i just give in and have it done for roughly $700. Any input would help me out. Thanks and happy holidays!
