We would charge around 200-230 supplied and fitted excluding wheel alignment.

Labour charge would be in the region of 65e ph. Wheel alignment 50e.

You're not saving a whole lot by buying the parts yourself.

At least if you get them supplied AND fitted by the same garage there wouldn't be any issues in terms of faulty parts. If you supply them and they turn out to be faulty then you will have to pay to have new ones fitted. If a garage supplies and fits them then they cover the charge.

Food for thought.

Trying to find a garage to fit your own parts is hard these days.
