    Yeah that might be an installed price or something that should be a $1,200 part or something like that new and all mine are used.

    Is it rusty underneath? (Silly to put good components into a rust bucket.)
    Is it in good shape other than these two items?

    So they're charging you $1,200 to install the brake actuator bleed the brakes and hand you the car back wow that is pretty steep that only takes me like 2 hours 2.2 hours to do the change in about 35 minutes to bleed the brakes the way I take it apart I wouldn't want to do them all day long even for $1,200 a pop but still it's a pretty boring job.
