Cost of shocks/struts replacement?
How much is this repair including parts and labour? If it matters, I have a 2012 Civic.
Also, what brand is the best?

It's an 8 year old car with unknown mileage, you're surprised that it needs shocks/struts?killer007 wrote: ↑ Ummm your 2012 already need replace?

I don't know what the expected timeline is for replacement. I am not the original owner, and the car now has nearly 104,000 km. It appears that they are worn out based on my own observation while driving and from inspecting them. I don't think it's urgent, but it's definitely a job coming up in the next 6 months or so.killer007 wrote: ↑ Ummm your 2012 already need replace?

Good on you for being in tune with your car's ride. In my experience, shocks and springs can start to show their age as early as the 80,000 kms point but if the car is driven very gently, they can work as new for a good deal longer. Bumpy roads, aggressive turning and braking will worsen things and if a shock starts to wear, so will the spring. And if these go, so can ball joints and bushings and tie rod ends and...KhetysTeachings wrote: ↑ I don't know what the expected timeline is for replacement.

I did the best I could in post #12:
I don't drive a 2012 Civic so I couldn't do any better than that. Sorry.Good front struts will set the OP back a couple hundred a side for the parts and the rears will be substantially cheaper...I have no idea how much labour is involved on a Civic but the cars I've done it's maybe 30 minutes for the rears and one to two hours for each of the fronts
