Anyone know a good shop in the bay area to get my tires mounted, balanced and an alignment. Im tired of shops fuking up my rims with their old machines. Where are the shops with the high-end equipment that you guys go to?

 

I'd like to know too.

 

i've never used them personally but custom alignment in mountain view does super high end cars. they are also super expensive. they quoted me something like $900 to install coilovers and do an alignment/corner balancing on my honda last year. best to call and get a quote of your own.

 

If money is not a concern, visit TOPLINE in Burlingame. They guarantee no damage to wheels and work on only high end machines.

I had my wheels mounted/balacned by a shop called Hanlon's Tire Service, in San Bruno. Although they don't have a guarantee, they do excellent work, and I tipped the installer $40 before installing my wheels to ensure no scratches.

Both of these shops do alignments, but I took my car to Trust Auto in San Bruno for an alignment on their new Hunter Road Force machine and came out without a scratch- they also offer custom alignment specs and let me stand their and give directions.

 

Boris, thanks for the info! keeping this info for the future.

I got my alignment at Auto Innovations 1337 Minnis Circle Milpitas, CA 95035 (408) 956-8004.

100 bucks and I have adjustable front and rear cambers. They also use the Hunter Machine. Custom alignment wanted 240! The guy was very thorough and came out to talk to me a couple of times during the alignment. I gave him specific target specs so he got pretty close.

 

Fvck Auto Innovations!

I drove all the way over to Milpitas and the grease monkey's decided to double book my appointment and send me home.
