So I went to do an alignment and the guy told me he couldn't do it cuz of the rear control arm bushings were shit. Told him to replace both, got charged 480 for parts and labour. Did I get raped or is that a reasonable price ? Thanks for your help

Be more specific on what was included in the $480?
Did he replace control arms and bushings, does that include the alignment?
If I were to take a stab I would have said, 2 hours labor for bushings @$100, $100 for the bushings and $120 for the alignment. Which gets you to $420 and I would think I am on the high side myself.

Obviously the bushings can be had for much less but I am sure they mark them up.
