Labor $910.44
Shop supplies $99.65
Total $1,186.95
Included alignment but still seems excessive....that's almost $300 hourly rate
Am I missing something?....maybe had two techs doing the job?
Was expecting $400 bill $500 tops

Sounds excessive but $400 to $500 sounds excessively low!
When I closed my independent shop 3 years ago, before Covid, I was getting $100 an hour and most dealers were charging $150.
I would think they are at least $200 by now, but $300 sounds excessive.
