Probably best to do both if im going to do one? labor cost will be similar?

Labor should be the same, has to take the springs off the struts either way.

exemplary sir. thank you. straight forward answer.

Does anyone know what kind of bill i might be looking at? Ive never had to do suspension work on any of my cars

Depends on where you live, shops here are usually $60 an hour .. probably charge you 1.5-2 hrs

and thats if i source my own parts?

So no hope with the tires then?

I live in god awful suburbia where everything service related is charged 50% higher.
i got charged 50$ of labor to change a windshield washer fluid pump(which i sourced) because i couldn't take off my bumper on one of my previous cars.
