Vehicle modification in Baton Rouge

I have a SUV that I want to get some basic things done that I cant do. For example, one is to replace a side marker on the front fender. This requires removing the wheel well and other plasitics to get to it. Its an easy job with a lift but I dont have one. Does anyone have a shop in Baton Rouge that can do things like this? CSC customs gets good reviews but wanted to check here first.
BTW, we could really use an automotive board. I would bet it gets more attention than some of the other boards.

A jack & jackstands would make it easy for you to do. No need for a lift to do that.

So, do you want to get a lift, and replace the side marker lamp? Or, do you just want to replace the side marker lamp? You just need to go to a local body shop if you just need the side marker lamp changed. CSC is great for lifts and such, and could probably do the side marker lamp too, since it's an easy replacement. But, a local body shop would be better suited to change the light.

This. You can get a floor jack and stands for fairly cheap at Harbor Freight. For extra protection, lay the wheel flat under the rocker panel on the side you're working on for when the cheap jack and stands give out.

Not a great idea to skimp on jacks and jack stands.
But hey, if you want to trust your skull to Chinese quality

In b4 BabyTac comes to tell us he just goes into the local tire shop after hours to use their lift and work on the vehicle himself at no charge.
