A Good Alignment (KoP/Phila)?

Hey you guys,
Where is a good place to bring my car to get it aligned back to OEM specs?? I'm looking for a nice customer service place that won't jack up my rims and give a pretty good deal (some type of warranty or guarantee ). I was thinking about going with Just Tires.

**Should I stick with OEM specs or ask for something else? I daily drive my car and I haven't planned to track or drag my car anytime soon. Thanks ahead.

There is a tire place in Berwyn that I can check out for you. They have a few employees with evos and stis so I would think they would treat you right. I will find out the name tomorrow. I take my car to STS in Eagle.

I would stick to OEM specs, but what do I know?

The Tire place that you are speaking of that is in Berwyn Is called Tires Plus
It is right next to the car wash and across from the railroad tracks on Route 30
The guys there have a new white evo X and a blue STI
Thats where i used to get my alignments done for my old BMW.
Hope that helped ya out

Friend of mine owns a shop in West Chester called Bimmerworks. His name is Steve, does a great job and has an awesome rack. West Chester may be a little too far for you though.

Thanks guys. I know exactly where that is. I work 10mins from there and its on the way home. I thought i saw a white evo x there, i wasn't sure if it was a lancer. Also see the blue sti all the time. How much do they charge for alignment? Will they scratch my rims at all? Should I bring up anyone's name to get a special discount? Thanks again

I was all worried about my rims at first, the easiest thing to do is just slightly scuff a curb that way you don't have to worry about the tire guys anymore
Thats what I did anyway and now the tire guy has to watch scratcing and cutting his hands on my ****ed up rims

I'm not sure I would just give them a call or swing in on your way home from work. That way you can check the place out a little make sure its up to par

Where do you work, have you ever stopped in at the Berwyn Ale House (Casey's) for lunch?

Long, you can't put cheap and quality together in one sentence man. Sometimes, you need to spend to get that type of service. Anyways, the Sears in my neighborhood has always done great work for me, and my family. Gives you printouts of what they did, and does get you a guarantee of the job.

IF you can't find a place, my garage is open. I have several rulers, levels, and strings to do the job...lol

That wasn't a spelling mistake, but a grammar mistake a-hole. Now go poke yourself in the eye with a straw...lol

PM Evo8Dad

He works on mostly Evo's and I believe he picked up an alignment rack.

He knows what he's doing, and I'm sure he wouldn't kill you price wise...

He's in Bucks county

I went to D'ambrogio Mitsubishi (how ever you spell it) in exton it was $90. I was going to go to Bear alignment in Wilmington for a more performance type alignment but it was $120 and there was a wait.
