    Denver-area shop for coilover install

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey, fellas.

    Anyone have shop recommendations for a coilover install - I already have the coilovers and need them installed.

    I called 3zero3 and was quoted $900 w/o an alignment. Seems at least double what I was expecting ($300-$400).

    Appreciate any help.

    Do NOT use 3zero3 you will get your car back and things will be missing. Coilovers are a simple enough job. I'd imagine Stan's alignment would install and run an alignment.

    I appreciate everyone's responses. Berg Performance and Bluewater Performance gave reasonable prices and Hardey's Motorwerks in Parker gave the best price. 3zero3 and Avalon were each over $1,100 - ridiculous.

    You should contact 3zero3 and Avalon and tell them how much above market they are. Seriously. Maybe they'll rethink their labor rates and match the competition. Then, we'd all benefit from having more vendors to choose from in Denver area.

    i never understood why 3z3 and Avalon would quote so much for coilover install. What exactly did they say they were charging and for how many hours of labor exactly? I mean typically i think shops will charge 3-4 hours plus alignment but what the hell?

    For what it's worth, Berg is so great I'd gladly pay them 3zero3's labor rate if I had to. To me it isn't about price so much as what value your are getting for your money. There just isn't anyone better then the group over there at Berg.

    I did tell them they were significantly higher, but they didn't seem concerned. Avalon said they'd need my car 1.5 days - crazy.

    I keep hearing nothing but great things about Berg. Hardey's Motorwerks seemed great on the phone as well. I also talked with an independent guy out of a shop in Parker based on a recommendation from SLVR-B8 and that was also a good conversation. So at least there's options other than 3zero3 and Avalon.

    Avalon and 3Zero3 quoted me $580 and $475 to install my sway bars on my C7 A6. Berg did an amazing job, doing it for $200 all said and done. Berg all day long!

    Marcel does great work, he has done everything I needed on my car. His prices, and flexible time makes it so worth it. Even to a guy like me that have the tools, and knowledge to do everything he's done. He even did work on our Land Rover, and soon mini :) Not to mention, I have plans for him working on my next toy. Ok, I think I made my point, so I'll stop here

    Went with Hardey's Motorwerks to install my Solo-Werks coilovers and they were great - actually going back later this week to raise the car about a half-inch. Thanks for the suggestions. Good to know there are a few reasonable shops across the Denver area.

    Hardey is literally THE MAN! He has done work on all of my cars. I always Leave happy with the work he does. It also helps that he is 5 minutes from where I live.

    Car looks fantastic BTW!
