How much would replacing the struts in a rear drive Volvo run (ball park figure)?

A friend of mine has an old Volvo 940 that needs them replaced in the front and he would like to have an idea as to what the cost could be. He has the struts already and just needs someone to install them as it's too big a job for him and it's too cold out at this time of year for a shade tree mechanic such as he. It's rear wheel drive and in very good condition.|||This type of work can vary from mechanic to mechanic. A lot of people are out of work and willing to lower their labor rates just to earn a buck. I know I recently did my struts in my old 1994 Saab 900 and a mechanic buddy of mine did all the work in about an hour and a half. At say $30 an hour for someone looking for an odd job you could easily get this done for about $45-60. One good idea is to post an ad on craigslist stating what needs to be done and trust me, people WILL contact you for the work. If your friend needs any other parts for his volvo tell him to visit www.goodcheapparts.us. The site is a good reference for many discount parts dealers online many of which offer free shipping. My advice never go to the local Napa or other Parts Store unless you need to parts today. 9 times out of 10 you can find super deals online and have it at your door in just a couple of days. Good luck with the job.|||$200 to $300.
