Wait a minute...they wanted to charge you THOUSANDS of dollars for a control arm change? The uppers should be around $125 apiece and I'm not sure about labor.

They said control arms, and some break fluid pipe or something.. and some plastic inside covers or something.. my estimate was worst case scenerio 1500-2000.. I have a audi book and it had like 5-6 peices at 220 average (cnd), and thn i included labour.. they are charging me for 2 day labour (tats how much they say its gonna take them). this private guy i have is charging me for 2.5 hrs i think. Ridiculous. I was Pisssed!!
