1997 900 SE 2.0 turbo.
Just had a full service done and had the both the front lower suspension arms (that's what it says on the invoice) and bushings replaced.
Each arm cost $250- and the bushings $40- each.
On top of this was labour of $300- and various parts (filters for oil, air, cabin, fuel, a fuel cap and front crank seal)for $225-.
The service itself cost $150-.
All-in this cost $1,250+ (before taxes).
To top it all off within a few miles of picking up the car it started warning that the ABS system was not working! The garage is due to check that out tomorrow morning.
Do these costs look reasonable?
Is there somewhere I can check out the parts prices?
What about labour hours?
I am in Ireland and so prices will not compare directly to the U.S.
Can anyone in the eurozone (I've converted all euro prices to US$ at $0.88=euro 1)or the U.K. compare prices?
Still a great car but my wallet doesn't look too good.
To make matters worse I've just spent a few days in New York - again a great city but not designed for value!
Thanks in advance for all contributions.
Nab
