They are fairly easy to change but I would guess around 150 or 200 at a shop not including parts.

If you are going to do the front struts, be sure to replace the parts above the strut. Those are the strut bearings and top hats. If the struts need replacing, they do too. They are inexpensive, but if you fail to replace them and get noise afterward (popping, creaking) caused by the new, stiffer struts, you’ll hate yourself, because you’ll have to do the labor all over again.

Use the ones for the Ford Focus. They are an improved redesign and are cheaper.

Affordable redesigned top hats/struts mounts and bearings from FORD
