Same as what Doug said, many of the tasks they performed were on a flat rate price like the ride height and alignment, both required if they are changing the ball-joints. We had much of that same work done on our Tradition several years ago. They allowed us to purchase the ball-joints from the original manufacturer at their cost ahead of time and we just paid labor. In the inspection, they found several other things wrong and we had several but not all of those fixed. Overall, it was a very good experience but rather costly, like you experienced. They did explain all work to be done and supplied a cost estimate up front, that is required in Michigan. I try to do much of my own work, but would have gone back there if there was work specific to there chassis that I could not do. There Techs were great to deal with. Hope this may help, Happy Trails Bert
