Notes: this estimate does not include diagnostic charges. Diagnosis is often not applicable for rear struts - they're either obviously leaking or the rear suspension is bouncing significantly. There are many aftermarket struts available for this vehicle. Prices range from $60 to $170 each.
This estimate assumes a standard suspension without self-leveling. If equipped with self-leveling, strut prices will be significantly higher (MSRP $624.18 each, although there are a number of aftermarket options), labor remains the same, except if the self-leveling system requires diagnostics. |
Glossary of Terms:
Aftermarket: parts not made by the manufacturer such as Ford, Toyota, BMW ...etc.
MSRP: Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price
OEM: Original Equipment Manufacturer
TSBs: Technical Service Bulletins provided by the manufacturer (they are not recalls)
Flat Fees: services such as alignments that don't get broken down into parts, tax, labor
Miscellaneous Charges: these can include, but are not limited to shop supplies--rags, chemicals, hazardous waste disposal fees, waste oil ...etc. |
About our auto repair estimates: RepairTrust models established fair pricing practices (as outlined in its eBook Trilogy), and uses state-of-the-art auto repair estimating software and 20 years of auto repair pricing expertise to obtain the most accurate and fair car repair estimates.
Aftermarket part price quotes are based off premium parts, unless otherwise noted.
The labor rate defaults to $100.00 per hour, unless otherwise noted.
Tax rate defaults to 5%, parts only, unless otherwise stated.
Estimates are dependent on customer-supplied information, and can not account for unforeseen circumstances.
High mileage vehicles often require additional parts and/or labor to complete repairs properly, thus estimates may need to be adjusted.
All estimates are subject to change without notice. |
