Post what you paid for spring install with alignment?
As title said, post what you paid for spring install including your alignment after install.
$400?
$500?
Just looking to get a general idea of what others paid. Thanks
FYI, not doing this myself no matter how easy or hard, so just looking for opinions from those who paid a shop or dealership to install just springs on stock struts with alignment.
Thanks

I paid $175 at Science of Speed in Chandler, AZ. They had originally quoted me around $300 but their technician was able to knock it out in just under 2 hours. I am waiting until I put a few hundred miles on the new springs before I get an alignment but a local shop quoted me about $65.

Sounds good.
Lexus dealership does $75 an hour to bring in the tuner market which is a great price for a dealership and you get a master tech to work on your car.
Problem is they quoted me 500 including alignment which adds up to them estimating 5-6 hrs for spring install. Yikes, but no thanks. No way does it take 5-6 hours.
Should be 3 hours max at $75 an hour plus alignment which should take me to about $350 out the door.
Seems like even though dealership dropped their price they tacked on extra hours to get the same bottom line for themselves.
