Default cheap spring install

does anyone know of a shop in the richmond area that has reasonable labor charges for spring installs? Ive never gotten anything installed at a shop around here ( i installed everything on my previous car including shocks and ground controls) but a few months ago the son of a family friend gave himself a concussion while using a spring compressor because he only barely tightened down one side, it few off and knocked him out (which is actually hilarious, but the timing is awful), so my parents wont let me touch my suspension.

Ive been to R.P.M. and a few other places and everyone wants 200+. any ideas?

Let me know if you need any tools. The spring compressor you can borrow with a refundable deposit from Pep Boys on Midlothian Turnpike. I like my aluminum Harbor Freight "racing" jack to load the front suspension to pop out my springs. I'm a few blocks away from there during the day if you want me to bring by some tools.
