I went to Auto Innovations, and I drove all the way out from Berkeley.

They're very professional and polite. Worth the drive, in my book.

i also have been to both.

i work for machiii and we own faxxon. you cant go wront with either. but rite now we are sooo backed up working on g's for wekfest if you need it rite away Auto Innovations might be the way to go.

what kind of alignment are you looking for? standard alignment or custom? are you dropped camber kits? do you need a corner balance? your in sf, if you got time drop by there will be 4 of the norcal g35s at the shop today. i can take a look at what you need.

Auto Innovation had a couple days of a wait. Dumped & Flush cars will have a very hard time getting on their rack though.

Price can go from $80-150 depending on setup and what you want.

i usually go to Big-O-Tires on Geary in S.F. - they're walking distance from home (big plus), open on Saturdays (bigger plus), and do decent work. Give you a before and after sheet. I do have OEM 18" wheels - if I had aftermarket wheels, I'd go somewhere I know won't scratch them, but for OEMs, and especially on stock suspension, there is no reason to drive extra distance.

It took more work than we thought to get my car on but we had to raise it up to get it off. Im sure the huge lip on the Chargespeed didnt help the situation.

I want my 2.5 turns back
