Changing Springs

Bought some H&R springs and I was going to put them on today. However, I called several places and they refused to change it for me (I found that from tirerack and I told them I got the springs there as well, they just rejected me). Do you guys know any shop around Boston where they change springs?

Auto Design Haus should be able to do it. I bought my springs from EvoSport and installed them there.

Sorlo,

What was their reason for not changing your springs? They charge you for their time and it's all profit for them. Has anyone else experienced this?

Shah, they told me that they won't do customers parts at all. I am totally clueless why they don't.

Thanks Saif, I've heard that Auto Design Haus is good. Is there other good places to go so I have more choices in the future?

Thanks again!

sorry, I don't know anywhere else I can recommend. I guess Boston isn't a good place to modify a car.

That's fine Saif, thanks for the reply. I guess I am going to ask Auto Design Haus to change them.
