3 Tips for Finding a Good Air Spring Installer

You’ve purchased Air Lift air springs… Now what?

While we do design our air spring systems to be easily installed at home, we know that DIY isn’t everyones style.

If you can’t (or just don’t want to) install your air springs yourself, the next step would be to find someone to do it for you.

Your truck is part of your family, so treat the process of finding an installer with the same seriousness of finding a surgeon for your own child. That might sound melodramatic, but when you think about it, you’re getting a product installed on your vehicle. A correct installation will save the day, but an incorrect installation…? Taking the process seriously will only benefit you, and rushing the decision could cost you a lot of valuable time and money.

Here’s a quick guide to finding a competent, trustworthy installer:

1) Do your research.

Luckily for you, we’re living in the age of information, which means there is a wealth of ratings, reviews, and recommendations on the Internet. Take some time to find mechanics in your area and read everything you can find about each one. As you read reviews, however, remember they are entirely subjective.

People often only write reviews when they have remarkably good or dramatically horrible experiences, and almost nothing in between.

That said, they are a good resource—just be sure to take it all with a grain of salt.

In addition to reading personal reviews, look closely for licensing and certifications – a good shop works hard for accreditation from reputable sources, so they’ll show off their recognitions whenever they can. Specifically, search mechanics’ web pages for their state licensing, as well as certifications from groups like the American Automobile Association (AAA) or the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).
