First off if the car is not under warranty do not take it to a dealer. They will normally charge you double the rate that local shops do. Ask your friends and family about the local shops and see if anyone has had troubles or great service. Call around to about three of the local shops and get a quote for the job and tell them you have the parts. This will give you a good average cost to go by.



It is so difficult for anyone on Yahoo to answer a definite dollar figure because prices differ geographically. Example: What costs $600 in California might only cost you $200 in Indiana.
