Re: average door pin replacement cost?

I had to have this done, went to brakes plus(strange place to have it done, but I had it in there for other work and decided to have it done while it was there). I think I paid around $150 for it to be done. obviously it will vary by location, but thats a ballpark of what I paid.

Should take two guys about a half hour or so to do both doors in the shop, roughly. So it would be parts plus an hour most likely

Minor thread jack, to alleviate my sagging doors. Both don't line up, but it's the driver side that has issues closing.

I would just like to know what parts to buy to redo the pins and not have it kill my wallet.

You can see the door moulding not line up.
