Spring Install...Springfield, IL????
Hi all,
Well, I ordered new springs, but where do I get them installed? I have found only one place that will even do it and they can't get the car in for at least 2 weeks (FC Customs). I am hoping to find someone to do it on Monday.
FC Customs seemed like the place to go....as I was impressed with service on the phone, but I really don't want to take a day off of work to get this done.
Most shops I have called, just say, "Nope. Don't do that kind of work." So anyone have any ideas?
I live in Virginia, Illinois, so I am not opposed to going to Peoria or Bloomington if there is somewhere there to get it done.
Although I do much on my cars, I really don't want to mess with the springs.
Thanks,
Shannon
**EDIT** Just in case anyone is looking for somewhere in Springfield to get springs installed, I ended up going to Lauderback Tire, on Wabash. Took them 3 hours or so and cost 258 TOTAL. Somewhat on the expensive side, but they were the only place besides FC Customs that I could find who would even do it. They also got it in right away. Good customer service and they did a nice job!

So far, places I have talked to that will do it......now up to 2 places, charge by time it actually takes. FC is 65 bucks and hour, other place said they would figure 6 hours at 300 bucks. I would think at 50 bucks an hour, I am looking at around 250 around here since no one has worked on one of these yet.
