Looking to get an alignment in the South Bay/ Lower Peninsula. Please list the following:

Where did you go?
When did you go?
What is your suspension setup? (stock, sport springs, coilovers, etc)
What did you pay?
What did you like?
What did you not like?
What/Who/Where to avoid?

Thanks in advance,
Tom

 

Dr Obnxs has used, and really likes Custom Alignment in Mtn View. I hear that they are top-notch, but not the cheapest...

I went with Roger Krause Racing in the East Bay, which was a further drive for me... I was very pleased with the attention to detail! I will gladly go back to them again. Plus, they can get the tires I want to try next for a good price (Toyo T1r)....

My sig has some relevant information. The price... I forgot, but very fair. I have all my receipts at work... They've worked on quite a few MINI's, and I was referred by kmickey, who tracks his MINI quite a bit...

 

Are you getting an alignment because you hit that big pothole at the entrance to the Broadway tunnel? I was right behind you and I hit that thing and my Mini is now pulling to the left. Maybe we'll meet up at Custom Alignment; I'm giving them a call tomorrow.

 

Yeah, that pothole SUCKED!!!, but I need to get an alignment regardless with the new springs installed. I don't know if I'm ready to pay Custom Alignment's prices (I think Matt was talking over 2 c-notes).

 

I just called Wheel Works in Mountain View (where I always go) and they said "bring it it anytime before 6 today and we'll have it ready for you in an hour". The price is $85.

Looks like my Mini will be driving in a straght line tonight!

 

The one betweeen Bernardo and 85?

 

Tom,
http://gms.cc German Motor Specialist ($98 alignment), I take both cars there for any non-warranty work. Tell them kirk sent you.

 

Off Showers(sp?) near El Camino and San Antionio.
Very quick service but not the friendliest people behind the counter.
I trust them about as much as I trust Mini of Mt. View.

 

Thanks Kirk!
