Default Whatdya think of these labor costs (I have the parts but no time to DIY)

Rear pads and rotors - $110

Springs and shocks at all 4 corners (without alignment) - $496.00

Washer fluid pump/reservoir - $100

I'm pretty sure I could do the washer pump/res and rear brakes but just too much travelling these days. Gotta hit the west coast for some snow since Ft. Wayne has no snow or more importantly...no elevation.

Anybody know of a metallurgist/material engineer position available in Denver or the pacific northwest?

suspension is overpriced, the rest doesn't look that bad

But $496 using the same labor rate for the brakes comes out to 8 hours...
