Default Best place for spring install in SA

Im planning on getting some stechs within the next couple of weeks. After reading up on the install, I really don't feel up to the challenge of doing it myself. Where is a good place in the San Antonio area to get them installed? And how much should I plan on spending? Thanks

well it should be free* not just free.

you will do most of the grunt work so plan to get a little dirty. when i did mine, the only thing i didnt do was use the spring compressors. took about half day to install my hotchkis springs. but there were plenty of breaks and bs going on.

You don't need that many tools just sum a jack, jack stands, sockets and wrenches and go to auto zone and get there spring compressor( they don't charge you for using them just requires a deposit of $50) that's it
