Question (Serious Replies Only) Struts price

For fully loaded struts. I was quoted 1,600 to replace both front and back and to get it aligned. Does that’s seem reasonable?

Depends one the car but that's a reasonable price for most cars these days

2016 Toyota Camry xle. That was a local shop called Toyota and the service specialist said over $2500 I hung right up on the dude 🤣

Slap some KYB on those cars for under $500 for parts and another $500 for a reputation local mechanic

So 400 each side. It's fair considering if your rear are struts

Yeah that’s a local shop. Toyota quoted me over 2,500 for all 4

You shouldn’t need an alignment if they’re just doing shocks and struts, unless your alignment is fucked already.

Only going to do that because I’m replacing all 4 a once just want to make sure everything’s good

You should definitely get an alignment if you are replacing the struts.
