Average cost to have rear subframe repaired/reinforced?

[slam]

Anyone have their rear subframe repaired/reinforced? Just looking to see what is a reasonable price. Got quoted for $1800 from a shop that does 1 per week so they seem to be good at the job. Just wanted some input from other owners.

What does that quote include? labor only? or with plates and stuff?

[slam]

They said it includes:

Disassembly
Undercarriage degreasing
Undercarriage surface prep (grind off all undercarriage coating to reveal any flaws in rear axle carrier panel)
Minor/Average crack repair (drill stress relief hole at ends of cracks, then repair with welding)
Welding in rear subframe reinforcement plates
Triple stage undercarriage coating (multi-layer process to have the best resistance to corrosion)
Internal cavity sealant (internal cavity spray to protect/coat the internal walls of the chassis)
Reassembly
Brake fluid flush
Alignment
Rear subframe reinforcement plates
Rear subframe bushings
Brake fluid
Miscellaneous clamps/hardware that are one time use

I was quoted roughly 2k from a shop in Dallas for mine, so I'd say it seems to be in line.
