Default Rowland Heights - Diamond Bar areas to install springs?

I'd appreciate if someone could give me shops where I can get my TRD springs installed. I'd hate to do it at the Puente Hills dealership, costing me 500+. If anyone can recommend me a shop where they had their springs installed I'd appreciate it. I'm looking to spend 70-100 dollars.

dont forget to keep all the parts taken off

But if you want to DIY then let me know, il let you see the service manual

Thanks! How much does autohaus charge for spring installations? I was hoping to have my springs, shocks, and struts all installed at the same time.

On another note, I am about ready to buy my BSP tC from the PH dealer. I am kind of confused about your situation. Care to elaborate? I am waiting for my dealer to call me to pick up my BSP since they don't pre-order.

autohaus charges 70-80 for spring and shock installs (same labor). if youre a repeat customer or you buy something, then they will charge you 60. their prices for parts are competitive, especially when you give them a quote from another shop. they are definitely open to haggling.

i wouldnt buy a tC from Puente Hills Toyota. The the internet sales manager and a regular sales person (on separate occasions) told me if I wanted a tC without any accessories, I had to get the car minutes after it comes off the truck. Literally, I would have to be at the dealer once the truck arrives, or they would start putting on overpriced accessories I wouldnt want (and force you to buy them). I went to Longo and ordered one the way I wanted it.

I learned that the hard way, my post only tells one part of the story

There's a place in Buena Park that can do them for you too. It's only about 20 mins away from Brea/Rowland Heights, etc. They did my Tein SS+P's and EDFC.
