Default Anyone recommend a garage to change over my coilovers back to standards? Doncaster

Hi guys I'm taking coilovers off my 59 plate hatch sti and need a garage to swap them over. Been told on another site it's a 2 hour job max (5 bolts front 3 at rear), they have only been on car 3k so shouldn't be seized up.
Picking originals up tomorrow so ideally Friday. Couple of garages I've spoke to don't seem to want to commit to doing them, God knows why.

If you've told them you expect the job done in under two hours I'm not surprised they're not interested in taking the job on!

Speak to Richard Henry Motorsport in Bradford, cannot recommend them enough,
Once your new suspension is refitted, get them to put their fast road geometry set up on it.
Not far from you either, an hour tops

I've not mentioned time to anyone, people just don't seem to want the job. I'll give them a buz tomorrow and see what they say.

Its an easy job, could do it yourself with a jack and simple tools.

Remember to get geometry done a few miles after going back to standard mate.
