Hi, I have a 2010 Audi A4 Quattro and I wanted to do lovering springs on it so I asked a place who are professionals with german cars. So they gave a me quote of $910 only labor mind you I will be bringing my own springs. Do u guys think the labor is what it is or to high I think it to much even thought I am supplying my own springs. I live in minneapolis, MN is there a good shop up here you would recommend, thanks.
This can vary from a couple of hundred dollars to $800-900. This quote is definitely on the high side, but not unexpected for a shop specializing in German cars. If I recall, I paid about $250 when I had lowering springs installed on my BMW X1, but this was by an independent mechanic.
I would check on Audi forums or Facebook groups to see if there are any local sources that people recommend. That is exactly how I found the guy that did mine.
If you are up for it you can always do the work yourself. Springs are on the dangerous side of things so caution and safety is key. That 800ish will also buy everything you need to DIY so you can do the job again in the future if you are gonna upgrade to coils or bags. A lot of the tools you can also rent out from like an AutoZone or O'Reilly's
