Broken rear coil spring

My 96 a4 has a broken rear coil spring. Any idea of what the cost may be to repair at a non dealer shop?

Thanks in advance

Wherever you take it you should replace both rear springs at the same time if you want it done right. Might also be a good time to do shocks/springs all the way around if you can afford it.

I figured that both rears would be replaced. Any idea of the cost of shocks spring all the way around would be?

Depends on if you get OEM or aftermarket.. The cost of the springs would probably be around $100-$150 and labor would be about $250.. Thats a low ball guess if it wasnt done at the dealer I think...
