Suspension & Alignment Shop in LA

I bought the Fox TRD Pro suspension for my 2011 Trail. Dealer quoted me $1500 for the install (10+ hours), which is insane and didn’t include an alignment.

I would do the work myself but don’t have time with a newborn at home.

Anyone have any good suspension shop recommendations in LA? Or solid independent Toyota mechanics they trust?

I’d really prefer to find someone I can trust vs blindly picking someone off Yelp.

Also considering doing spark plugs and coolant as I’m coming up on 100K miles.

Thanks... always appreciate the guidance of this forum!!

Get a breakdown of what they're doing.
The rears are easy - you don't need to change the springs if you're just doing a TRD suspension install.
