Chassis Air Bags replacement

Rear airbags in our 2008 Beaver Patriot Thunder are leaking as we can hear a whistling noise and see cracks in the rear airbags.

We know they need to be replaced but are trying to minimize the inconvenience since we are full-timers. Does anyone have a recommendation in the DFW area that you could refer us to for reasonable repairs costs and a quick turnaround service. We are open to anywhere within a hundred-mile radius or even a mobile repair center if you have a recommendation for us.

Has anyone had this work done before? You remember what the cost were? I can see two air bags that need replacement and was wondering about a ballpark figure for parts and installation.

If you could give me your recommendation I would love to hear it. Thank you for your help and happy camping.
  • $170 for an Air Bag and $100 for installation seems like a fair price.
  • I don't have a recommendation for a repair place in Dallas, but we are having all our bags replaced on Monday at Josam's in Orlando. I have already bought the 10 bags for $1700 and we have been quoted about $1000 in labor. Will know more on Monday.
