Hello.  I was wondering if anyone knows a place that can re-install my stock springs and struts for a good price? I happened to be at Dixie Ford today and they quoted me $820.  So, if anyone could help me out, that would be great. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Mike

$820, it's only a 2 to 2.5 hour job WTF?

I was once quoted $50/spring installation at a place on the corner of Mattawa Ave. & Wharton Glen Ave. which is east of Dixie & Dundas in Mississauga. I don't have a name or phone number for the place but check it out if you're in the area. It's across the street from a popular german store called Brandt. This price was just for installation, not for the springs and struts.

Yeah, that's too much. I would think the average cost would be $200.00 to $300.00 to do an install, the higher value including an aligment check.

Mike there is a good place in Scarborough, their name is Total Suspension 416-749-0990 - 42 Midwest Road, Scarborough, Kennedy/401 Area. They did mine and it cost me if I remember correctly about $150 and that included the laser alignment.

NO I just threaten to beat them up, that usually works.  I just shop around and ask lots of people before getting repairs done. It is just too expensive not too. It was my brother who told me about that suspension shop and I trust my brother's opinion, most of the time anyway.

 are you sure about that phone #?? 749 (and a host of others like it 741,742,747,743)... is a North Etobicoke exchange (ya ya the land o 9mm) Unless of course, it's a cell number.
