Alignment shop for super slammed cars

I've used several shops before to get my cars aligned, but very few have a rack that can accomodate a car that is very, very low. The one exception I can think of is Auto Innovations, but I really don't want to drive out to Milpitas.

Anybody know of a shop in San Francisco/Peninsula that can get my car on a rack?

I've used them for tire mount/balance before, but I don't feel comfortable with them aligning my car.

The Big O V35 Skyline is talking about is actually in Walnut Creek. They have an underground bay and did my alignment there before. Incase you decide to go further out Boris.

Hmm, not sure my car will make it out there. Just stuffed some 19x11's under my fenders, needed to get an alignment so they can give me more negative camber so I can make it into my driveway without rubbage!!!!

The 19 X 11's are supposed to go on the front.

I've been telling Boris to go to Autoinnovations. I got my car aligned there not too long ago and had another great experience.

They took their time to do the alignment, then they took the car around the block then put it back on the machine then finished it up then took the car around the block again. I was quoted 100 but then he only charged me 80 since he didn't have to mess with my camber plates. That's some honest business for you right there. It took long but that's a good thing because they got everything almost perfectly even. Some other shops I've been to had the left and right different from each other with a "close enough" attitude.

I'll need to find an alignment shop also. I hope the shop I go to has an easier time with my car than with Boris' car since mine wont be that low. I might just try Big O in Walnut Creek. (I'm posting here just to say thanks for the recommendation. )

19x11? I wouldn't be surprised if he did stick them in the front.

+100 for Orlando & Steve @ Auto Innovations. They did work on my EG back in the day, I'll definitely be taking my G to them for an alignment.

local shop

Try Trust Auto in San bruno. Look for them in craigs list. They offer a discount. They sell springs and such and are used to lowered cars...
