So, I just called the local Ford dealership to get a quote for installing a set of lowering springs and shocks and struts and they said they didn't want to "deal with it" and wouldn't install them. Anyone experience this before? What are my other options as I don't have anywhere near the tools to do the install on my own.

 

they dont want to make money i guess

 

find a reputable body shop. the stealiership employees are lazy..well some are good, but it's very rare. my advice, take it to a good shop.

 

Bad Stealership.
No donut!
Call Ford and complain.

 

Actually, I'm not too surprised. They don't want to fool with aftermarket, non-ford parts in case there is a warranty-fitment issue. No doubt their work is good, but they are just covering there own arsses.

 

+100000 so true

 

Yeah if it is not a ford part, and usually from the factory when you get the car they won't touch it. One time they wouldn't even balance my wheels cause they were aftermarket. O well!

 

When it comes to aftermarket mods, its up to the dealer. The one I worked at would not touch any aftermarket work and the were an SVT dealer. The are a good dealer, I still take my cars there for warranty work.

The big Ford dealerin the next townruns special promos on installing gears, springs, GT bumpers on V6s etc.

When Iworked there,our service managers mentalityabout aftermarket was that aftermarket stuff can cause problems and if that happens we would be obligate to own the problem.

A goodprivate shop is the way to go IMO.

 

my local ford dealer wanted $450 to install my lowering springs...I ended up getting them installed for $150 at a local shop

 

i would just go to a good performance shop
