Opinion on Labor cost Front Suspension 560SL

[jvlata560SL]

I need your opinion on Labor cost on my 1986 560SL.

I'm been charged $1900.00 in labor for a complete Front suspension update
Upper Control harms (expensives!)
Shocks
Engine Mounts
Sub-frame mounts
Steering damper
Ball joints
Tied Rod
Drag Links
All bushing kits
and 2 Flex Disc in the rear

The total bill around $2800 with parts. What do you thinks?
I'm in Miami, FL

Thanks

Jorge

I just responded to your same post over in OD....... Don't listen to those guys overthere, you post what you want overthere, nude car drivers section and all!

I sounds expensive but not out of line. I did a similiar sevice on my 420SEL and had a similiar sticker. This is merely the cost of maintaining an older car and not doining DIY. It will make you feel better if you look at it as about $160/year and you will never have to do it again.

That's a lot of hard and dirty work. Price seems reasonable to me for an experienced shop, but you might sweat them to make sure they have not just added up all the prices for each job done separately. You should get a discount for doing the whole thing at one time.

I should be an awesome difference when done!
