It's pretty difficult to cock up fitting springs...get it done cheaper. If he doesn't do it properly, then take it back. It should only take 1-2 hours to fit all four.

Small garages rely on good service to obtain/maintain business.

Just make sure for the love of god, the put the strut bolts in properly etc.

Long story short but i had lowering springs put on a yaris t sport years ago by the local monkeys, they hadnt tightened 1 of the strut bolts it was clunking upon taking off and coming to a stop.

I jacked the car up at the weekend after to discover this problem.

It was hanging loose!, if i'd of left it, it could of enabled the wheel to go into the arch and catapult me at 70mph on the motorway and i wouldnt be typing this now

Do it yourself. Then you can be sure.

Use your loaf

Ask around about garages, have a sneak peak round the back etc.

Some taxi's firms use cheap good garages too, although i've never been to one
