Does this seem high?

whoady4shoady · 07-19-2012, 01:41 PM

For just the installation of some springs a rear camber kit and the alignment, sears wants to charge me $675. That seems high to me. Am i crazy?

Not really

For comparison it cost me $400 to get my springs installed, and $100 for an alignment. Through in labor for the camber kit and you should be paying at least $600.

That's a bit high to me, I paid under $300 for SpecialtyZ to install my springs plus another $80 for an alignment. The install for the rear camber arms should take very little time at all so I wouldn't expect that to add much to the install.

I paid $130 to have my springs installed. Alignment was $100.

I installed my swift springs and camber arms, because I'm a man.

i paid $120 for my spring install. spring install shouldn't be more than $200 imo. alignment is another $80-120. im not sure how much camber kit costs to install but i'm sure total shouldn't come out that high.

Can you come t my house and show me how a man does it?

I would try looking at reviews before Sears

Try using Yelp, it's pretty good

I'm going there to get my Swifts springs installed on Tuesday

Did Seb do your alignment also or did you have to go somewhere else?

You *** lol... If this car wasn't my daily driver I'd definitely try doing my first ever spring install and whatever else, but that's not the case. Yeah I know you're egging people on...

Sears is up there with the dealership as places you def do not get work done. They totally lied ot my face and tried to trick my sister into getting new tires.

Cmike2780 · 07-19-2012, 03:56 PM

It's a bit high. Figure about $200 for the springs install, $150 for a full alignment and $100 for the the rear camber arms/toe bolts. The rear springs isn't even a coilover setup and takes 10-15 mins each. I would look around. There's gotta be a reputable shop around you. I was also under the impression that installing the toe bolts required some drilling. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't trust the guys at Sears to drill anything in my car.

If there's any 'drilling' involved (which I don't think there is), I'd definitely look-up a specialty shop, not Sears.
