Alignment shop in Tampa

There was a good alignment/suspension shop in Tampa somewhere, but I lost their number and forget the name of the shop. Can anyone recommend a good place to get an alignment and so suspension work?

Lokey will perform the best alignment for you Steve. They aligned my G when I had the Dan #1 (yes Tampa Dan the original)'s suspension items on there.

No Tampa Dan is "The Dan"... Orlando Dan is "Dan #1" or "Sherman/Shermie".

I have to ask since I moved to tampa a few months ago. I keep hearing lokey in clearwater? as the place to go to do any afermarket work on our Gs, is the infiniti dealer in tampa off Dale Mabry any good then? I have taken it there once for the 30k service and didn't think it was bad. Just want to get a feel for it. I have also seen lokey post replies and threads. Thanks for the help.

hey
i used to go to infiniti of tampa. i never had a problem with them, always did good work and in a timely fashion. when i went there i was under 21 so i couldnt get a loaner.
the reason i go to lokey now is because they are a club sponsor, offer a discount, and have made this club happen since the very beginning. anytime i have a problaem with my car or need to bring it in all i have to do is call and they get me in. they are also very helpful with pretty much aftermarket part, whereas at the time IOT didnt do much with aftermarket parts (not sure if that is still true). i dont think there is anything wrong with IOT (never had any problems with service) and would probably be goin there if lokey wasnt a sponsor of the club, since they are much closer to me.

I thought about that, but I wanted someone to install the SPC camber/toe bolts for me. I had taken it to Lokey several months back, but I couldn't remember why they didn't (or couldn't) install the bolts for me. They did, however, test my alignment at no charge. I'll ask John about the bolts.

Last time I was at Infiniti of Tampa, they tried to charge me $150 for an oil change because it was synthetic... Didn't think I looked that stupid

Lokey is the place to go. It's worth the extra miles to get there. Hell, members from Orlando come down for service at Lokey!

Now I get it I knew I was slow. So shermie is Dan #1 (which is aka sherrif also) now I will never forget who Dan #1 is. Now i need to put a face on Dan #2 or is he of no great importance....j/k

I wouldn't mind giving lokey a try but because of my job the extra drive there is just not time effective. IOT has been doing a lot more aftermarket work now. I've asked at the parts and service area. They will install anything from the cats, UD pulleys, CAIs, even the stillen FI systems. Labor is still up there about $91 an hour. I guess they realized all the market out there for our vehicles and lokey grabbing all that share. I would go there just to try it out but the location is killing me right now, maybe one day.
