Advice on a decent garage please.

[MARCB1881]

Hello,

I've just been told I need two new front suspension arms and a rear spring for my 159. I've been told the parts will be approximately £150 from Europarts. I would really appreciate any advice on where to get the work done. I live about 10 minutes from the Metro Centre, Gateshead. Apologies if this is not the right part of the site to post this. Ps does anyone have an opinion what the labour charge should approximately be.

Thanks again.

Marc

I dont think it will be just 150 in parts, it more likely to be about 300. lower arms are about 200 each and 100 top ones. A spring about 60, but you really want them replaced in pairs. And about 3 hrs labor.

This seller on ebay was selling genuine Alfa upper arms and rear springs for £20 each, might be worth messaging him to see if he has any left.

Labour wise, I would expect about 2 or 3 hours labour to change both the arms and a pair of rear springs

Thank you both for the advice.
