Your lucky to find a garage that will fit supplied second-hand parts, most won't even fit supplied new parts.
The arms rot from the inside out so hope you checked them very carefully or you could be in the same position in a year or two.
To me, fitting second-hand arms is a false economy with them being known as a high corrosion part, same as the rear brake plates.
