I need my front struts and front lower control arms replaced on my 2014 Trailhawk. I have the parts. My mechanic moved and I’m not sure how it works when you have your own parts. Any advice helps.

They may complain, I do it a lot and so far my Jeep dealer hasn't fussed.
They even installed non stock struts and shocks and fog light bulbs. They're happy to take my money.
Most shops have Mitchel on Demand or something similar so they can fix most anything.
Make sure the mechanic is ASE Certified and you should be good.
Make sure you provide the one time use bolts.
Replace the strut bearings. Also, the plastic clips at the top, it is easiest to just break the old ones.
Check the tone rings on the inboard side of the wheel hubs and see how rusty they are.
Unless you are fording rivers you should be good in Vegas.
Let us know what you find.

Some places will refuse to install customer supplied parts, others will do it but may jack up the price of their labor to make up for what they aren't making on the parts.

All you can do is call around, I'm sure you'll find someone in the Vegas area willing to do it for you.

@sanghill Thank You for the info. I have the clips. Which bolts are you referring to?

 

[sanghill]

Not sure which bolts are one time use from memory.
When I am preparing for replacing something I do the research.
I have the "2014 Service Information" DVD I bought from somebody.
Just be aware there are such things. Maybe somebody can help.
