Arrow MD/DC/VA spring install/alignment

I just got my hands on a set of H&R springs and I'm looking for a reliable place to not only install them, but a realignment after. First comes install quality, then price for me. I don't want anyone inexperienced f***ing up my bushings or anything. Please chime in, for I'm not worried about getting it done soon with the Winter/snow still lurking.

Thanks NELOC.

Edit: And yes, I see the several threads on people in the same general area looking for alignment shops, but I'd like to kill two birds with one stone on this one. In and out with everything I need done.

yeah i was about to tell you the shop that did my coilovers and then a few miles down the road the shop that did my alignment, not sure about where to get both done at the same place though.

try calling: Commercial Tire Co Inc - more info »
5790 Washington Boulevard, Elkridge, MD (410) 796-4330

they are like 3 shops all sharing 1 piece of property but the guy in the back does alignments and camber, toe type stuff pretty good and he was a modded 240 (i think) and is just redneck enough that i'm pretty sure he could do your springs for you.

I am not sure about the alignment but I am sure that they will be able to handle the install.

As far as the installation there is nothing to it. There is really nothing for anyone to mess up. I have done a bunch of them with my friends help and by myself. I would not worry that much about getting the alignment and the install done at the same shop, just make sure you get it aligned shortly after the installation.
