Does anyone know how much will it cost to replace a pair of rear shock absorbers for a typical mid size car?

I have spotted oil leaking from one of the rear shock absorber.

I am planning to get it replace this weekend and just wanted to get an idea from you guys how much it will cost (parts and labour)?

I am unsure of the time needed to remove and re-fit but I can get a pair of rears for $166.00 here in Brisbane. Retail is $217.00

I just got quote from my local K-mart Tyre & Auto $600 (Parts & Labour) for a pair of rear Koni absorbers.

Is this expensive?

I just called again to price the Koni's. Whoa they are crazy expensive.

Trade cost to me is a tad under $420.00. These are the adjustable ones though I don't know if Koni are available as non adjustable.

That gives K-mart a couple hours labor and a bit of profit on the shocks.

Not ridiculous but it depends how desperately you need the better handling

I have a mate down in Melbourne who may be able to get them through his previous employer. He will get back to me tomorrow morning to let me know what he can do.

Will post and PM as soon as I find out.

Thanks mate!

I got two more quotes from the following this afternnon:

1. Mechanic shop near my work place - $626 with KYB or Monroe.

2. My local Pedders Suspension - $450 with their homebrand shock absorbers.

I am quite keen to go with Pedders but not sure about the quality of their homebrand products.

Does anyone come across Pedders' services?

I have visited their website and it seems quite good.

I just heard back that Gary's old company has not got access to Koni shocks. Koni have a very limited supplier outlet base and he can't get them at a decent price. Their cost is only marginally better than I can get. Every other pace I called prices range from $475.00 upwards just for the shockies no fitting.

Sounds like K-Mart Tyre & Auto are offering a pretty good deal.

If had to choose, go the Kmart price.

I wouldn't pass up a pair of Koni Specials/Sport at that price including installation
