So I went to my dealer to get prices on a set of springs, and the install fees for them. The parts guy said the springs were $265 + tax...but only lowered the ride height 30mm, while keeping the same spring rates. This I already knew. I went to the service department to see what the install would cost...he comes back and says....10 hrs of labor at $90/hr....plus the 4 wheel alignment
$1040 in labor alone, bringing the total to about $1320 after taxes. Now I would love to lower the car....and i love the fact that it would still be in warranty due to the VW parts. But $1300 just to do that seems rediculous.
for those of you who paid a shop to install your springs....How much did they charge you for labor?
and does anyone know of a reputable shop in VA that would do it?
