1100 at a reg shop probably also includes parts with markup and labor at $65-95 an hour. It adds up real quick. Usually a shadetree guy has a much lower labor rate and if you supply your own parts, no markup there. 300 for a full front end rebuild is very cheap. I wouldn't do one for that, I've done my own and its a pain in the ass.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
