Default Polybush and Bilstein Shocks: Garages in Central Scotland?

Been trying without success to find a garage that will quote me for replacing my knackered wishbone bushes with polybush and all 4 shocks with Bilstein B4 (want to keep fairly standard). Anyone on here know of any garages in Central Scotland area that will do this type of work?

its surprising how many garages won't fit parts that you have bought yourself, even if they are OEM parts, if it wasn't for my local indy garage then i would struggle to find any in aberdeen that would do the work for me. most of the "big" garages etc just say no sorry we don't fit parts that we don't supply!

I worked for a big motor company (with a blue oval) and we put 150% on most parts that we bought from our own company before they went on the shelves - that might have something to do with it.
