SF - Good place for alignment

Hey peeps, anyone know of a good place where they won't scratch your rims or rip a hole in your wallet? Looking for a place where I don't have to cross any bridges or go further than Millbrae. Thanks!

Could try The Shop San Bruno. Idk if they do alignment but give them a call. They work on a lot of modded cars. Last time I went there was a white NSX on BBS LM's and an R35 GTR.

Lots of slammed cars with ballin wheels stroll through there so they should know to take care.

There's also Agundis in SSF. I had my CCW's mounted at Agundis Tire in SSF and they nicked the lip of my wheel (very tiny but still).

They're good too. Only reason to avoid it is the driveway if you're slammed. Unless you bring your own ramps, or they flattened it since I've been there.

Yeah. They added some wood when going down the ramp. Only issue is their damn driveway however If my car can make it in and out I'm sure most majority people can no problem

The busted lip place sounds... not good
The wooden ramp place sounds ghetto
I'll try the place in San Bruno

Unless someone else has a recommendation?

Faxon Garage is a good shop.

So is Agundis. When they mounted, they said they just had trouble mounting it because of the step lip.

Either way, all shops are good. Just be sure to tell them be careful.

faxon is ok they can be a little lazy when it comes to Alignments I have had my car done there and I wanted it back to stock as much as possible but for some reason I had to have them redo the cast twice during that same visit just for them to get it back to stock.

I go to Faxon Garage / Mach III for alignments. Make sure Wyman (sp?) does your alignment. Great guy and he drives a modded G too.

Sounds like a lot of you guys go to Faxon. The only thing holding me back are the negative (and few) reviews on Yelp. Though it would be the closest one.

Agundis has great reviews on Yelp.

The Shop has a couple of negative reviews on Yelp.

Firestone is cool? I'm always leery of chains, but it sounds like you had a good experience.

Decisions decisions...

Most places have a couple of negative reviews.

Businesses won't be able to satisfy 100% of people.

As long as you tell them to be careful you'll be fine at any of them.

+1 for Wyman at Faxon Garage. He's the only person that can touch my car there
