Default Coilover repair

Where can I get a leaking coilover repaired and what sort of price would I be looking at paying?

Cheers

Price obviously depends on what wants doing.

But as Scorted has said the company do deal direct just call them up and send them in http://www.avouk.com/Contactus.htm

Last ones I sent in for repair were about Ł25 each trade

That was a pair, but were very damaged by previous idiots, on mine I had to wait as some spares were out of stock so the fronts took around 2 weeks, rears were 2/3 days.

Ł45 for the rear pair and they came back with new rods, seals adjusters and a full repaint.
my fronts cost around Ł80 for the pair but cam back with one reod replaced and no repaint... still very happy with the speed and costs !
