so i know it completely depends on if there’s any issues especially since my cars always seem to make things difficult lol but I was hoping to get at least a rough estimate of how many hours of labor it will probably be. I’m on an extremely tight budget and am trying to save up money for the labor once I get the parts.
You’ll save money by buying the parts and tools and watching 2 YouTube videos on how to replace them. Mechanic would charge 3 hours of labor you could do it in 7 or 8 and save money. I’ll let you know thought I’m not a mechanic, just someone that has done the work myself and bought tools to do it myself so far I’ve saved quite a bit of money doing the easier stuff myself.
4 hours labor for 4 quick struts. They might get done quicker but that’s the book rate. Don’t expect them to penalize themselves for working faster.
I’d agree with the guy saying you could do it yourself. But I don’t agree with just only following a youtube video. If you did it yourself I’d make sure to also have a service manual(you can purchase online for like 15 bucks) as I’ve found that the people on YouTube videos often get torque specs wildly wrong and often what they tell you is way to low and isn’t in spec at all or sometimes they dont ivem use torque specs and just ugga dugga which is horrible.
