I was getting tires for my 420 SEL yesterday and the tire shop tried to pitch me some new shocks, too. I declined, but the salesman insisted on providing me with a quote for me to "think about." The quote was for a total of $702.32 for four shocks (brand unknown, but I would guess something like Monroe, which I'm not interested in buying at any price), installation labor, shop fees, and sales tax.

$702.32 for four shocks installed????!!!!! Am I missing something here? I declined, because shock replacement is one of those things I typically do myself, but the $702.32 figure really left me startled.
