Question '89 Camry suspension question

My shocks are completely not working (especially in the back). Its a very bouncey ride...

My question is simple, what do you guys think it would cost to have all shocks replaced (I think the springs are fine...?)

Secondly, are there any chain stores that you guys would recommend (ie. Sears, Walmart, Les Schwab, Americas tires etc.)

Thanks.

PS: I'm too busy and don't have experience in doing it myself, so thats not an option.

It's just an opinion, but I wouldn't let any chain store work on my car. I'd suggest buying the shocks either online from a parts store, or from a "real world" store like Pep Boys or Kragen. If you can't install them yourself, then take them to a recommended private mechanic and have him do it. Asking around to friends or family will usually turn up a worthy mechanic to do the work.

I had my front struts done at PEP BOYS and they left out the bumper stops and dust covers. I only found out much later whilst getting a wheel alignment at FIRESTONE.
