Some bushings needs to greased, some don't, some need to be replaced if the dry rot or are damaged through years of use, those type need to be pressed in with a hydraulic press. Which shops have.
Inspect the bushings for wear and tear. It could just be the upper hat bushings on the coil spring that is causing the sound.

Alot of times a squeek is from the upper control arm bushings. They are easy to take out but you have to remove the control arm from the car and pop out the upper ball joint which is often hard to do without ripping the ball joint boot. A press you can get from the parts store for free w/a deposit will probably work to get the ball joint detached, that or possibly a hit with a hammer.
