I think there's a tradeoff between reputable shops and reasonable prices... a couple shops actually turned me down saying that they don't deal with camry's... I got mine done at JE Import Performance, very reputable, kinda steep on price... 255 installed for my springs... Try Altered Atmosphere in Rockville or Ptuning in VA... I don't really know they're prices, but they're both reputable

$255 is a GREAT price!!! Where are they located? My brother usually does all my work, but I can't wait for him. I had the same experience as you. I asked several shops but they all declined. Since I was having my oil changed and a new battery installed at the dealer, I asked them what they charge -- $570!!!!!! WTF!?!?!?! So, $255 is a great price.

I had a similar price quote from my dealer, I think they charge for 5-6 hours of work.

Ridiculous...The same dealer installed the factory alarm for me for $199 which I thought was high. However, I would think it would take longer to install the alarm than the springs. Who knows. I'm definitely not forking out close to $600. They just screwed me out of $140 for a new battery. My battery died on me at least three times so I told them to check it out. Of course they said there was nothing wrong with it. However the day before, while tinting my windows, the battery died after only 40 mins with the doors open. The shop had to jump my car just to get it out of their bay. That was embarrassing!
