For those of you who have been through this, what did a dealer / high-end indy charge you to replace your front struts? I am aware of the part costs.

Thanks,

If you are mechanically inclined at least 4/10 you could replace yourself, if not I suspect they will get you for 2 hours per side + test of system via STAR
I'd guess 5 hrs?

I paid my trusted Indy about $175 per corner to install.

If I recall correctly, I had both fronts replaced at the franchised dealer for $2500 or thereabouts. The dealer used parts sourced from MBUSA Parts, but they could only get remanufactured parts. Apparently MBUSA Parts doesn't have AMG specific new airmatic struts available anymore. I didn't thoroughly inquire, but I hope they come with the 2 year unlimited mileage warranty, not that it's likely to fail in 2 years and not that I drive a large amount per two annums.

I don't recall the breakdown of part and labor cost.
