Need a shop to install rear adjustable camber arms in Dallas

Hi, I have a 2014 E550 4matic, non air suspension. I’ve gone through two sets of rear tires due to wear on the inner edge. I got the adjustable rear camber arms from F1, and now need them installed. I went to an indy shop here and was quoted $1425 including alignment. Is this reasonable? I think that is a little high. Does anyone recommend another shop in the north Dallas, Plano, Frisco area? Thanks in advance.

$1425 WHAAAAAT. im not mechanic but i installed my own arms. granted i had a lift. id look around. it didnt take long.

drop the lower arm on one side
pull spring out
remove the inner and outer bolts on the factory camber arm.

the only time consuming bit is getting the lower arm back in position as the spring fights you but still isnt bad.

well, for $1400 I hope he spends a good amount of time on getting your alignment spot on. that sounds like they are charging ~ 12 hours shop time. suspension work is nearly always a beetch.

TX, no rust… 4-8 bolts + alignment. I’d shop around.

Autoscope does top notch work, but may not install a part you buy (they are strict on their vendors//OEM)

Same shop also has a high labor cost but it has a strong reputation for a reason.

European Auto Haus by SMU may also be a good price check, have had Rover serviced there several times.
