Default CV Boot Replacement

Both boots are torn. I have no time to replace them myself. I was wondering what a fair price for labor and parts is to replace these at a shop. Im getting quoted at $415.00 for both.

Default It's OK...

Replacing the CV boots is typically the cost of labor to R&R the joints, minus the parts cost of the joints (But all other hardware must be replaced!) 415 might be a little high, but how many hours do they estimate the job at, and what is their hourly labor rate?

1 hour 45mins per side. 90 bucks an hour. 50 bucks per boot.

Default Look for the boots online...

I'm sure you can get a much better price than $50!
