So I received my Bilstein shocks today and call up Allied (now Goodyear) and they say they dont install customers parts. I say you guys put my Rancho's on my last truck!
Then I call Tire Kingdom, they say the same thing. I say but you guys put my own tires on rims for me last time!

I could easily put the backs on but the front coil overs are a pain in the **** and I dont have time to do em.

 

make friends with a local type shop, i wouldn't go to a chain type place they will rip you off anyways.

 

"We don't install customer parts Run.....run very fast and find someone who wants to earn a customers business!

 

I called all the major shops, Goodyear, Tirekingdom and Firestone,and all said teh same thing. they are trying to combat internet deals I guess.
Finally found Meineke muffler, and they installed no problem. Wonder where I am going in the future for installs

 

I could not agree more. Most local places don't put their profits into the products as much as the Chain places do.

 

I guess that really didn't work out for them.

 

Very good advice

 

LOL, I guess so. thing is I had things installed on previous vehicles and they never gave me a problem, and price was very fair. Now all of a sudden they have made a pact to bring down the internet. And I dont mind paying a few extra bucks for parts for the service involved, but when its in the hundreds, well
