i dont really know about cars, so i was wondering if this is a reasonable price or a rip off
this is a 92 corola,
Strut * 2 = $210.00
Tire 155/80R13 = $32.00
Tire disposal = $3.00
Wiper blades * 2 = $32.50
Outer CV boot *2 = $30.00
Inner CV boot = $19.00
Dispose & supports = 2.50
Parts total = $329
Labor total = $300
Total = $ 629

It looks reasonable, might want to ask if alignment is included since you're replacing struts and a tire, should probably get that done at same time.

Sounds reasonable. Prices will vay depending on where you're located, at my shop that would be up to probably $14 or $1500. And did you price the parts out, or is that the prices they gave you. Some garages will not install sustomer supplied parts as well. May i recomend changing the half shafts instead of the C/V boots, that way you get a brand new alex assembly, where I am it costs about $20 more to do the axel then the boots, and you get a much better repair in the end. If the needle bearings are wearing out, or if brinilling has occured then they need to be replaced, and its hard to check for if no signs are taking place, but could soon arise.

Why are the CV boots being replaced? Are they ripped or cracking? If they are undamaged, replacing them is only unnecessarily exposing them to dirt and water that will wear them out faster. Request that an alignment be included with the strut installation, but for what reason are they sugguesting replacement? Are the tires feathering/cupping? I have a 95, over 200k miles, and the struts are still good on my car.
Good rule of thumb for old cars - Don't fix what ain't broke.

Sounds reasonable to me. I had a '90 Corolla and had similar work done in the past by a reliable and reputable shop and the charges were very comparable to what you list.

yes they ripped you on labor and the wiperblades...hour many hours labor did they charge you for? This job shouldn't have taken more than 2 1/2 hours.

That sounds reasonable from my experience.
