Default Mechanic/shop to change shocks in northern suburbs of Chicago

Can someone recommend a place? I intend to buy all the parts at Rock Auto. I just need someone to install them and do an alignment. 2006 GS430, 196k miles, located in the northern suburbs of Chicago. Thanks.

I no longer have the tool to compress the springs to swap them for the FSport. My neighbor borrowed it and broke it. I know you can rent one from most auto parts stores.

if you want to snag the tool I can help.
