It’s eina but doesn’t seem out of line, suspension isn’t cheap to maintain and repair.

It will be RBC in Port Elizabeth, and Robbie knows his stuff, does not sound unreasonable - it will come back like new.

Standard rebuild plus a worn part or 2, I'd guess damper shaft and / or damper body.

Do yourself a favour and get the fork and dropper post seen to when you've recovered from the sticker shock, it'll save you money in the long run.

You should be servicing suspension every 150 hours or annually.

High yes, It came back on Friday, was indeed RBC, or my fork had an RBC sticker on it, so I think the shop sent both in. I ended up paying 4,5k but it is in mint condition now so it is worth it.

I've had stuff serviced in LBS and by RBC 

RBC are leagues ahead in what they can do, they have a one ton press that can remove stanchions from the crown, they do shocks all day long, and have helped my revive older forks with a stanchion from their parts bin for EOL forks, they are masters at their craft.

Robbie is also a super nice guy and will bend over backwards to help the customer.

LBS are fine for the quick stuff, but you can send directly to them as well if you want to save on the middle man.

Check their calendar and you can catch them at the big races in their crazy kitted out motorhome workshop, so you won't have extra on delivery cost, but the racers get first priority.
