Question Anyone know an inexpensive\reliable springs installer in the Bay Area?

Hey folks,

I'm getting my springs tomorrow, but 2 places so far here in the Bay Area are charging $360 (Auto Plus, Daly City) and $400 (Some place on Clement St.) to install the Votgland springs on my C32. Anyone in the bay area know an inexpensive place that can be trusted? I live in San Bruno, but will go as far north as Novato, east as Livermore, and South as San Jose. Recommendations please! I would love to drop my car asap.

I'm interested as well - being a fellow Bay Area member - have you talked to Topline?

For about 5 years I have exclusively used Autohaus Exec in Burlingame - Call and ask for Paul -650-340-8038 -- tell him that David with the C32 sent you! - he has dealer mechanics that work at his shop after hours!!! Price is very reasonable - especially if you pay in cash. He will also give you a loaner car to drive. Quality and service is top notch!

contact me with any more ??? dcfsf@pacbell.net

Carlab in San Jose does good work and is very reasonable. Give the owner, Darwin, a call at 408-306-3129.
