Shop recommendation to check my suspension in Bay Area?

Can someone recommend a good shop for an alignment? Please refer me to a shop that won't charge me an arm and a leg?

BTW, somewhere around Union City and San Jose would be perfect.

I am going to have (TPS) Total Performance Solutions in Campbell install my springs next week. They do work on my Corvette and are great, I have also seen a few mini's at the shop and some of their events. Ask for Mike and you can say Danny with the Vette and Mini recommended you.

Anyone else know of good shops in the San Jose area?

x2 for Bay Bridge Motors, very knowledgable for street or race applications. Also a great body shop, Clean Green at the same location in Oakland.

I had some work done at Edge Motorworks in Dublin.

I'm DIY guy too so I got to stand, watch and BS with the guys.
He even fixed a few minor things for free. He showed me my suspension and items that will need to be addressed in the next few months.

Bay Bridges is good too but you can't go into the garage.

how much does it normally cost to do springs on a r56? i had the r53 and a shop in hayward did it for 110. not sure if they raised the prices or what not. i also have control arms i want to install as well. but what would you think the general price range would be for springs and control arms?

thanks i really appreciate it.
