Default how much for spring install?

Well, my Tein springs came in a while ago, and after reading the DIY on the spring install, I've come to the conclusion that I'm a dumbass. So, I'll be a pansey and go to a shop to get 'em installed.
How much is a reasonable amount to charge for "professional" spring installation?
Just wanna be sure I'm not gettin ripped off.
Thanks for any info!

Any shop should be able to do it in an hour or less. So if a shop charges $60/hour, it should only be $60. If you live in AZ, Randy (randode) will usually do it for a 12 pack. I believe he holds the record for most spring installs, and most spring installs in a day.

I changed my first set of springs with hand tools in less than an hour.

Any professional shop will probably charge you the hour or a little over. Thats if they never worked on a scion. But if they have worked on a scion the charge shouldn't be more than 45min of work. Hope this helps on qoutes. :D

I know a couple of locals that will install springs for 60 bucks... Most shops charge 80-120 bucks for an install... The dealer I called a while back said 200 bucks...and they'd only install the TRD springs.
