Generally good advice. You can pay any shop to go to school on your car, results will range from good-to-disasterous. Most will bill extra hours to cover their learning curve.
Or you can go to a specialist who's been there, done that, has the right tools and knows exactly how to do it. The job gets done right, takes fewer hours, and probably costs you less money.
Hard to imagine the shop advised against doing a corner balance in an effort to help you spend your money wisely, then turned around and charged you $1800 to install bushings. Ask the shop to show you their set of computer scales. Most shops don't even have them, and explains the recomendation not to corner balance.
This is not an inexpensive job, but we do it for a lot less than this. More importantly, it would be done right.
Find a specialist.
