First, go get your car. If he doesn't realize the larger ones hold up the heavy end of the car (the front), and he's not bright enough to look at the springs on the car already to get a clue, then you don't want him even changing the valve stem caps on your car. There are way too many things on a spring swap that he could mess up and make your car unsafe, if he doesn't kill himself decompressing the springs. Go get your car and take it somewhere that employs someone who has at least a fundamental knowledge of cars or you're likely to get back a partially-disassembled car or a deathtrap waiting to crash.
