Average HRS Quote for ACS Springs Install

RumbleJay · 03-28-2012, 07:43 PM

Hey everyone. New to posting but not new to forum. Bought and just received my 2011 BMW 550i M Sport and have a set of ACS Springs on the way. Can anyone advise what they paid to have a BMW dealership or Indy installed them? I got quoted for 8 hrs by local BMW dealer but got my SA to accept charging 6 hrs.

TIA.

I guess I should have asked about any type of springs set install. It did not have to be ACS specifically.

Curious... how much is it per hour?

BMW dealer $125/hr. Indy varies.

I was charged for 6 hours and paid roughly $550-$575 at Turner Motorsport. Went to the dealer after to get an alignment, and they came back 10 minutes later and said I don't need it, everything was in spec! Saved $150 at the dealer by going to a shop that truly knows what they're doing.

Isn't it easier for cars with fold down seats for the rear installation?

I got 3 quotes: 4hrs, 6hrs (from Turner - same as dblock) and 8hrs (from the dealer) I haven't gotten the springs yet, and may DIY.
