How much should all this work on my car run me?

Car is a 2004 Toyota Matrix with 210k miles.

Looking to have the following done:

-Fuel/air induction service

-Coolant fluid exchange

-Power steering fluid exchange

-Transmission fluid drain & fill

-Replace PCV valve

-New spark plugs

-Replace timing chain tensioner with gasket

-Replace engine oil pan gasket

-Replace front sway bar end links

-Replace front and rear shocks/struts

Wondering how much all this should cost.

Are they including an alignment after suspension work? That'll be the most expensive part labor wise.

I guess if it's necessary I'd have them do it. I might also just ask the mechanic to check the shocks and see if he thinks they should be replaced or if they're still ok.

Brother are you going to be all this yourself or taking it to a shop? A mechanic will run you $2,000 ballpark

The car has really high mileage so that’s another thing to consider brother

Most of those items are easily serviceable items with basic tools and a few hours.
