I had a front suspension springs go six months ago. The local garage I used charge

I had the springs changed on my Octavia, by a local garage, for £30 each.

I supplied the springs.

A local garage (NW London) charged me £150 + VAT to do all four springs when I had Eibach lowered springs fitted to my Fabia.

A Skoda dealer might be a little more.
