Default strut install question

I got quoted $306 to install all 4 struts/shocks. It breaks down to $230 for the fronts @ 3.5 hrs and $78 for the rears @ 1.2 hrs. This is just r&r, not including the price of the struts. I just need the fronts done at this point and I know its not a 20 min job, but does 3.5 hrs sound right?

Thanks!

I'm considering it, but I figure if it's on a lift and a competent person is doing it, will it actually take three and a half hours? I don't feel a need to pay it just because the book says thats how long it will take.

Default Pay the Money

If you have the money, pay someone to do it. I did it myself and my hands and arms look like I was in a fight.
