In reply to Steve P. Was this a dealership or independent shop?

I was quoted $1,700 to replace front and rear struts (parts & labor) and the alignment on a 2018 Subaru Forester.
Seems like an OK price but I thought I’d throw it to the board to check?

In reply to Diane. What is your make and model? Are they replacing the whole strut assembly (shocks and springs)? Any additional parts or labor?

In reply to autotechnician. Today, I was just quoted $1700, parts and labor, to replace my front and rear struts along with a swing piece?

In reply to Yemi. That sounds high but I am not as familiar with German cars. I would ask around on a BMW forum or Facebook page.

I have a 2007 BMW 328xi. I’ve been quoted $2500-$2600 for the complete front suspension (control arms, struts, wheel alignment) plus an extra 500 for tie rods, inner and outer. It sounds incredibly high but I can’t seem to find anyone else in my area.

In reply to Troy York. I think the parts on that car are going to be much more expensive than the labor. Expect to pay north of $800, but call around to a few shops who work on European cars for a better estimate.

In reply to Earl Angelo. Check rock auto.com then YouTube the repair. It’s not hard and will cost a quarter the cost of these mechanics. I did all four on a Ford Flex for around $300. Just get the whole strut assembly so you don’t have to worry about messing with the coil/spring. These mechanics are ripping people off.

In reply to Annette Evans. Find a different mechanic they are ripping people off for strut replacement. I just replaced all four on my 2009 Ford Flex for little over $300. There’s YouTube videos all over showing you exactly how to do this repair. It’s actually not that hard if you get the whole strut assembly from rockauto.com or a different auto website and find someone to do it with a few basic tools.
