Well they really do try to charge that much.
You should take it to cheaper garage. There is nothing to replacing the shocks and struts. Shocks and struts are about $100/set.

Hogwash! Front KYB Struts cost $71.00 each. rear shocks are $51.00 each from: Partstrain.com. Carquest has KYB products locally. 

Any trusted private mechanic would do the work for a "whale" of a lot less than $970.00.

What choice do you have. Shocks/Struts are a SAFETY issue. Worn shocks/Struts increase your stopping distance by up to 12-ft. And they wear out your tires and suspension system. Read this post on shocks/struts

You need to ask friends, relatives, neighbors for the name of a stand-alone, independent garage that's recommended by others to be good and reasonable.

A dealer, or chain is working off a list of set prices.....the manager is probably on commission for selling as much in repairs as he can.
