Alignment shop?

Post by spazegun2213 »

Alright, i have been to 3 shops and NONE of them will align my car. I keep getting point back to Curry's and i know they do good work. But for $150 + extra (for a custom alignment) I'm closing in on $200!! which is CRAZY!!

Anyone know of a good shop?

oh and julian, that place you told me about is a merchants, and they ONLY do back to factory spec.

They can, but they are in MD, its something I'm not willing to drive up there to get done.

I got swift springs, they drop a little more than pinks, and they are a little stiffer as well, but not they are not terrible! They are different though. Having never been on stiff springs before, I'd have to say I like it!

Curry's wants $200
PBC wants $120

I've got an appointment with Don Beyer on Saturday, May 13. several of the guys who work in their parts and service department are tuners, so I think (hope) I'll be fine. I told them I had lowering springs when I made the appointment and they didn't seem to care.

thanks katie! I made my apointment with them, they are the closest to work, and I guess $20 more is not too bad.
