    Auburn Car Repair & Offroad will do it if you provide the kits. Can't speak for their service though.

    I'm not aware of anybody else in WA.

    Perhaps Mule Expedition Outfitters in Issaquah or Toyota of Bellevue (accessories dept. that does aftermarket work), however both are pretty booked out. Mule I think is booked out into Mid-July right now for day jobs, and Toyota of Bellevue just booked me in for Mid-June for suspension work I have planned.

    Other shops in the area I called all seem pretty busy..

    good luck!

    Michaels actually booked you? @TheToyotaGarage hasn't replied to my emails or messages. After the bad reviews lately I'd be hard pressed to recommend them anymore. I doubt they have the ability to do shock rebuilds

    Ah damn. My read of that thread is this is more to do with the service dept. of Michael's Toyota rather than the 'accessories' dept. that does customizations which is a separate shop as I understand it, still shitty though.

    thats just service dept - which isn't the same as accessories.
    I just did my recall thru Michaels and it was great, worked with Justin and everything was hasslefree. I think it really depends on who you work with.

    also edit for OP : 99.9% sure Michaels does not do shock rebuilds. You might just need to mail them out and put on a spare set of suspension for the time being unfortunately. I'm also curious tho to know if there is anything else out there in the area for rebuilds for the inevitable in the future

    Might not be a bad idea to call Mule and ask if they know a shop that does, given their experience in the area.

    Only shop I found in Washington is in Auburn but 3 week lead times.

    Given my current situation, I just ordered new coilovers and shocks. So I'll just sell my current set to someone with the available time to get them rebuilt.

    Thank you all for trying
