Hi Guys,
I'm definitely not a a mechanic but I'm looking for one to install a set of eurocode sway bars on my 2017 S6. I'm looking for someone in the Fresno/Clovis area. Also, I'll be heading to LA this weekend so if there is a reputable and reasonably priced shop with experience already doing this job please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I know of nothing in your area, but my research here indicates any reputable shop will/can do it Quotes average 1.5hrs rear, 1.7hrs front. Average hourly rate $95.
If you have access to ramps, put on the front yourself, directions are spot on. That was simple. Rear is a pain, snaking the bar in, lining up bolts, but doable. Just pay someone to do rear. If I have to do it again, front would take me 30 min, rear 4 hr. Some things get in the way for the rear, just a lot of cussing with no special tools.

I don't have any access to ramps or the tools to get it done. Eurocode quoted me $360 for the full install. Seemed a bit high but at least I'm sure they know what they're doing.
Just get quotes from any trusty mechanic that a friend would use.

I changed the front on my '16 S7 in about half an hour. Another S7 owner and I worked together to change the rear on both our cars in about 2-1/2 hours. Only advice I have if changing the bars yourself is to get a set of triple square sockets, not the adaptors; the sockets!
