    Hi All,

    I am successfully running my Prius(140k miles) without any issue so far, Last week I took my Prius to the service center, service center people told me few parts need to be replaced(replace front dust boots and bump stops, also front strut replacement) it is 2007 model, they gave me 3k quote for all this, I am trying to understand parts cost before I paid to the service.

    can you ping me links if you have any parts?

    Thanks

    Not sure which service center you're patronizing, but I would guess just about any Toyota dealer can beat a 3k quote for two (2) front struts (with dust boots and bump stops).. and even after the dealer finishes liberating your wallet you will still have enough left over for a rebuilt Dorman HV battery and a fancy coffee drink of your choice.

    If this was a quote from a local stealership, please let everyone know who it was and then shop around for additional quotes.

    Maybe you left something out of the quote, any additional parts/labor that needed servicing?

    Using all oem parts front and rear struts including all boots and front bearings Installed by Goodyear car shop was $1100 out the door.

    I bought all the parts Toyota online Olathe I believe and they installed them. $500 parts $500 labor.

    Nothing special at all about a Prius suspension it's like any other car.
    I bought new tires too.

    It will feel like a new car again.

    Struts are good for about. 60000 miles. after that they are doing nothing.
    Which means it will feel like a little stage coach when it hits bumps.
