Alignment plug for a good shop

55 bucks!

They will align your car front and back. And put everything back to spec. as close as possible even if you dont have any supporting mods for camber and toe, etc.

They take really good care of your car.

Pro- THey will get her done right, and take watever measures to do it right.

con- It may take over 30 minutes. Esp if you dont have the right mods with your lowered suspension. e.g. A toe bolt can only go so far if its not aftermarket. Camber kits and the like.

I vouch for these guys quality of work!!!

talk to john or henry. Henry will most likely work on your alignment.

They also have Good prices for tires. Just ask for a quote, it will def. impress you!

Wow, for 55 bucks and around 30 min, that's the best bargain I've heard. If they really are as good as you say, this will be a very popular shop very soon!

I was referred from my friends. Fixed up S2k and a fixed up A3.

and i'm happy too.

I like the tire prices the most tho. Saves me $$.

.. I just need some more of us forum guys to try it out and agree with me on this shop.

If you have a lowered suspension it may take longer than 30 min coz of the fine tuning, UNLESS if you have camber kits and everything else you need to set ur wheels straight. I have them to save my tires.

i dont care who you are or what shop you work at, if you're doing an alignment and doing it with taking care of the car then it'll take over 30 minutes EVERY time, especially if you're doing custom settings with front and rear camber kits.

I can do my car in about 25 minutes being careful and that's the absolute fastest. So anyone should be willing to wait over a half hour for their car to get done.

I agree.. ESPECIALLY if your car is lowered. Its alot faster if you have a good front camber A-arm, rear camber+toe bolt. I had to get those mods so that they can get me done in less than an hour... haha.. coz before that, it would take an hour...

they have to put ur car on a pedestal that can shift in the horizontal plane.

so they do have to lift your car.

you drive it to the lift, and they jack one side to put the lift arms under ur car, then do the other side. then finally lift.
