Would you kindly post the parts charges and labor charges.
the LCA’s range in price and if they replaced the struts then your charges are not far out of line, was there an alignment done ?

The labor charge seems about right. But that is one heck of a mark up on those parts.
All I can say is, WOW.

Glad I can do my own repairs and shop around for decent prices on parts.

Yes , $315.00 per LCA , and $218.00 for labour to replace them seems steep but average.
Yes , you might have saved money, if you ordered on line and turned your own wrenches.
but the parts are installed now the work was done and completed.
Enjoy the ride! Keep it clean and drive it often!

If they had got them from a GM dealer they would have bee $231 each retail. Their wholesale price would have been less than $145.

Sounds like a creep I worked for in the 70's; he would double the retail price.
