Cost of 90000 miles service

[pomocanthus]

There are a few things that I can't DIY so I am bringing to a local indy shop for an estimate. My 99 Tip Box needs new suspension and also to have the ATF topped off (shifting 1 thru 4 is fine but 4 to 5 there is a little hesitation and slightly higher revving). After inspection, the shop told me that they can perform 90000 miles service which includes flush and replace trans filter for about $1100. They also said that my front struts are shot and they can replace (just the front) with Beilstein Heavy Duty for $1400 including labor. What do you think? Are these prices legit or are they trying to get me to pay their next mortgage?

1. I priced RoW M030 thru Sunset and the kit costs $1000 and in another post, Renntech members have said to expect anywhere from $750 - $1000 for install; so $1400 just for front Beilstein seems high

2. I didn't see ATF flush as part of 90K service list. I can do most of 90K service myself except for ATF flush because I don't have way to measure ATF temp. What do you think is fair price for just flushing and refilling ATF?

Thanks in advanced for your help!!!

I have priced the 90K service at both the Dealer and at the Indy Shop here and got the exact same quote...$1100.00.

I'm not sure of the strut/shock replacement but you can get the parts from Pelican for the front for about $240.00 per side. What else is included with that price of $1400.00?

$1400 = front struts, shock stop plates, alignment, labor

hmmm ... seems pretty pricey !!?#??
