Stock Suspension

My friends and I a few months ago installed coilovers and lower control arms on my car. Around 2 weeks ago we put the stock suspension back on due to me trading in my car. As my friend was installing the stock shock on the rear right he broke 2 bolts and replaced them with ones that oviously weren't right. The stock suspension is on right now just with the wrongs bolts. The guy at the alignment place won't align my car because he doesn't want to take the risk of anything breaking which I understand. My only choice is to take it to a Scion/Toyota dealer. My car is still under warranty.

So my questions are

Will they have the right bolts?
Will they re-install the stock shocks for me?
How much of a price am I looking at?
Also does it matter what dealer I take it to?( Scion, Toyota, Subaru )

Toyota will have the right bolts, but probably not on hand.

They will re-install the stock shocks for you, but it will not be free. Not sure on this, but if you get the work done at the dealer you plan to trade in at, it might affect your trade in value.

No idea on price as I'm not sure which bolts you mean (A picture would be helpful)

Theoretically any Subaru/Scion dealer should be able to do the work, but a Subaru dealer might not work on an FR-S.

Would I be able to take it to Toyota and have them look at it and see what bolts are needed because I don't know which bolts are missing Ill take a picture later and compare the left rear and right right rear. The dealers also not the wrong I plan on trading my car into.

Yes, they will be able to look up the bolts for you.

Top or bottom of shock? The other option is for you to use village scion parts guide to find the proper number

This might be what you're looking for.

OP if you're trading in the car and the suspension in on right now why even bother?

Trade the car in, dont point it out and let the dealer fix it when they go to prep the car for sale.

It's not the shock it's more of around the shock. The shock is perfectly fine. I wish I could explain but the only way is pictures which I will take later.

I'm trading in the car in about a month to 2 months and it's my daily drive right now.

if he wont align it, probably the toe adjustment bolt. just look at a parts site diagram and order the ones you need. Install it yourself.

That was one of them. I found a diagram online and a website for the bolts so i'll probably just order from there and do the install myself.
