That doesn't sound so bad. Keep in mind that the upper strut mounts are quite expensive. At FCP Groton, they are $40 each, but they are Scan-Tech, which I have found to be poor. The part from Volvo is about $120 each, retail. Make sure you use the Volvo part, or the Boge branded part. The KYB units will fall apart, and the Scan Tech units will also fall apart, and have poor fit to begin with.

Find out what brand they are using for the upper mount, and also what strut they are using.

If you do the job yourself, you can rent the spring compressors, or buy for about $70.
