TRD SPRINGS

so I'm desperately trying to hang onto as much of my warranty as possible so now that the TRD springs have been re released I want to go with them. Trouble is I've contacted two scion/Toyota dealerships who both came back with 7 hours plus alignment after. Does anyone know of any other options/shops that would keep under warranty? I'm no mechanic but I would expect a max of 4 hours seems reasonable. Any help/insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks

7 hours? Are they forging the springs before they install them?

That's what I'm saying. I can live with 4 hours and that's a stretch as well. Just kinda ridiculous.

Have a friend who has done it before do it for you and buy them some beer. Then if you have any issues, tell the dealership you lost the receipt from the other dealership that installed them.

Hmmm... why is it that a 16-year-old and I can do it in 25 minutes (not counting alignment) but the professionals take SEVEN HOURS!?!
