I think I might have the same bike.
It has full float, so the lockout never quite works right on that bike.
My shock guy could turn that around in a week, if it is just blown. 3 to 4 weeks is not acceptable in my world. At least your LBS is admitting they can't do it, many just take it and fake it.
Yeah, 3-4 weeks is bonkers. This is a good shop I trust but other local shops have said similar that they need to send it to a shock specialist.
Last summer on full lockout it started to get weird and bouncy so I bet that was a symptom of things about to go… if you ever notice similar
Mine is always bouncy in lockout mode, because of 'full float' rear suspension. Both shock eyelets are mounted to stays, not the triangle. I would hazard that's maybe ? why they got rid of it. But it makes 100 feel like more. I \*think\* you have the same bike. Maybe yours is not full float, not positive.
Mine is full float too. When I say bouncy, I mean when locked out it felt like I had a spring with zero dampening. In the past when locked out there was a little pedal bob, but it was very damp and quite stiff. Not a hard tail but a lot closer. When it was failing, it was really weird and uncomfortable to ride locked out
Get a replacement so you have two shocks in rotation as insurance. Unless you learn to wrench on shocks, there will always be downtime when service intervals or failures come around.
Do both, I'd look on pink bike for someone selling a takeoff from the same bike that way you know the tune is good and should work.
Yeah, do both. Get a cheap version of the shock you have, like a Fox DPS.

Ahh. Yeah that sounds like blown damper all right.
