100 Series AHC Shock Absorber Replacement shop rec London UK (1 Viewer)

[F46]

Hi All, I want to get my AHC shock absorbers and coil springs replaced on my 2006 100 Series. I've got all the parts ready but can't do the job myself. Does anyone know or could recommend any garages/land cruiser specialists that could carry out the work? From what I understand the rear shock absorbers are a pain to get to since the top of them are so close to the chassis and some garages opt to put a hole in the boot floor to get to it - which I'm definitely trying to avoid!
I'm based in South East England but I'm willing to travel for a good garage.

Why are you replacing the shocks? You're only supposed to replace them if they're leaking extremely badly. It's not really a shock. It's a hydraulic piston. Mine are original and have 450k miles on them. The globes are what you really replace to change the ride. There are several threads here on the subject. The abc's of ahc is probably the best one.
