Bilstein 5100 install fair price

How much are you guys paying to have the 4 Bilstein 5100s installed and alignment done? I am outside of Philadelphia, PA and I haven't been able to get an estimate under $800! I cannot install them myself because I have had hand surgery and will be in recovery for the next six months. I've been to every 4x4 shop, Toyota dealer and tire places and havent found a place that will do it at a reasonable cost! I had done my research before I bought the 5100s and most people were having them done between $300 and $500 with the alignment which is right in my budget. Any input would help especially from any fellow Tundra owners in PA. Thanks

 

The rears takes 30 min for a novice. The fronts around Chicago are billed at ~$250 so I'd say $300-350 all around for labor.

 

Man I wish I could find honest pricing like that around my area. Every place is saying $600-$850 labor and $80 for alignment WTF!!!!

 

I paid about 270 for the install with alignment.

 

hmm... i went to 4 wheel parts and had the fronts installed and a alignment for about $375.

 

Too bad the closest 4 wheel parts store is like 300 miles away

 

For me it was about $300 labor including alignment. That's with me taking them the parts.

I've found, over the years that building a trusted relationship with a local shop. over time, pays huge dividends.

Initially you may pay more than you want to, but once you become a repeat customer, they will become more willing to work with you on things like labor charges, and even shopping the work out to another shop.

 

Yeah unfortunately for me the mechanic at the shop I deal with recently passed away. The new guy that they have there sucks and I wouldn't even trust him to change my oil so I'm back to square one. I don't mind paying a little more with a different shop but have to pay double or triple the price seems like a complete rip-off to me

 

BS right there. Way to high for shock installation. No more than $500, and that's including alignment. Good luck
