Ya I agree, just that it is always something with these F%%$# mechs and shops man

Definitely not a place I would ever go for service. They don't get paid enough to give a crap about your car so the quality of work is a big...

Ya me too actually...my neighbor better be right... then again unless he is a douche, card to screw up this job, should be a good intro to him... if...

Well it was pepboys so LOL

They're not blue, they're a crisp white from what I've seen in person. I have the same ones but with a yellow film, so mine are actually slightly...

Ah. Then that is definitely too expensive. It's odd that a shop would quote you a single shock as standard practice is to replace them in pairs. ...

That sounds more like it... If anything, cheaper than I would expect. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Found a guy who will charge total labor of $160 for both the 5 coils and the rear shock replacement, thats not that bad right... totally worth the...

The quote was for one rear shock and no tax included I think.

Sorry are dampers the same thing as shocks? or struts, do they all come in one package?

Are they that blue in person, what color temp are they?

$720 sounds like a total ripoff. If your shop accepts customer supplied parts, I would order the parts yourself and supply them. They might be...

I'm curious why you think it's a major ripoff. It sounds pretty spot-on to me. Some loose math: Let's say their cost is lower than $64 per...

I fully agree, I don't like driving other people's cars. I was just trying to poke Charlie! :biggrin:biggrin:biggrin:biggrin:biggrin:biggrin:biggrin

You don't have to but if you haven't replaced either and one needs attention, the other is probably due too.

Aren't you also supposed to get new plugs with coils? Or optional Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

You might also consider replacing the upper shock mounts while you're in there....

Ends in 2 hours. Current bid is $17,500.

Rear dampers are only $64 per unit if buying Sachs: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-shock-absorber-rear-e36-e46-sachs-556-882 $282 is a major...

Anyone competent can get it done in under 30min. My old Indy would have charged $40 for 30min of work.

That price sounds about right for a pair of rear Sachs shocks. Just make sure they don't use a cheapo shitty brand. Rear shocks are super easy...

So just for me to judge these robbers, what is a fair price to say replace all 6 to make it easy, in labor? Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using...

I would get these: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-direct-ignition-coil-eldor-12138657273 Bosch will not work. Takes about 10 minutes to...
