How much to do a job?

I could see a shop charging 5hours for the suspension work, 2hour for rotor/pad and 1hour alignment. 8hour shop time wouldn’t be unreasonable. And they could probably actually get it all done in about 5-6hours. But typically you pay standard book hours.. But like i said they’ll look at book hours for each component and not factor in half the work for various components is shared and thus the cost/time should reflect. total book hours probably around 12 on initial quote. You simply need to remind them (let them know you know) that various parts of install are shared and when doing things simultaneously it is probably a 7-8hour “book” job.
