I have a 2020 Toyota Tundra and purchased Bilstein 6112 @ +1.9" preassembled and Bilstein 5160's @ stock height from Boss OffRoad - they had a great sale. I'm simply looking for someone to take out the OEM, install the Bilsteins (which are still in their boxes) and perform an alignment. This doesn't require any lift kit or shackles and they simply bolt right into place.
Shop 1 is a busy shop with a great reputation - they've done work for me before. "Sorry, we don't do upgrades". Ok...
Shop 2 was recommended by a friend and it has 8 bays without a single vehicle in any one of them at 10am on a Tuedsay. "Sorry, we don't install customer provided parts. It's just not worth it for me". I explained they are brand new, still in boxes and that I'm not asking for him to guarantee the shocks beyond it being installed correctly and if I have a problem with the shocks I'll call Boss Offroad. "Sorry".
Shop 3 I was just passing on the way home. It has 6 work bays with one car in it. "Sorry, I'm going to pass".
I get there is some liability in installing customer provided parts but these are still in the box and purchased from a reputable online company. It just seems to me for places that don't seem all that busy it would be an easy couple hours and an alignment - hell overcharge me what you were missing out on the sale of the parts. Just sort of ranting...I didn't think this would be such a big deal.
