Need an Austin auto / suspension shop who can use my own parts?



I know this one has been asked before, seeing if there’s any more current answers to this.

Backstory, I purchased some suspension components (basically changing out the front and rear shocks) for my Nissan Frontier after asking the normal auto shop that I go to if they would install them, as they did not offer these sort of performance parts. They confirmed they would, so I ordered them, I would not have done so without confirmation beforehand. Upon dropping it off for installation, which I was also getting differential work done, they did the differential work and then told me they won’t install my suspension parts when I picked it up, even though they confirmed multiple times by phone and email they would.

So, I still have these parts which are quality and made for the vehicle, but cannot find a shop who will install using my parts, which are not returnable. I can sell them at a loss of course, but trying to find a shop that will install these. I can do most work myself but I’m not comfortable with a lot of suspension work, in particular swapping springs to new shock and pressing bushings is something I won’t mess with. And I can handle working on rear end fine, but I don’t have the tools to do the swap for the front end.

If anyone has recommendations of a shop that might be able to do something like this in the wider Austin area, like 50 miles or so, please let me know. I very much understand the dynamics of shops and mechanics being able to make money on their work, and not looking to low ball an hourly rate for this, just need a shop that might work for a situation like this.
