Had my car aligned and cornerbalanced @ speedware motorsports in seattle (wrx with zero 2R).

wondering where everyone was getting alignments done in seattle and portland areas, im in between?

 

i had a thread a while back about a place off of tv highway in beaverton called alignment specialties. i was super happy with them, good price, and the guy will give you whatever set-up that you ask for. all they do are alignments as well, so it's not like taking it to some guy at uncle lester who is aligning your junk on his first day.

 

I went to Fordahl Motorsports in Bellevue behind Park Place. Still waiting on getting my suspension back from JIC, then it looks like I get to do it all over again. They did a good job though and printed out all the alignment specs and weight balance.

 

I like to use Omni Brake and Alignment in Kirkland. They have good prices and their alignments are accurate.

I stopped having work done at Speedware after they installed my strut hats on backwards on a M3 I used to have. They hand wrote the values on the alignment sheet and insisted I had the neg. camber I wanted. They finally accepted there was a problem because you could easily see the positive 3 degrees of front camber.

 

I will only use speedware. They are the best by far. They also work/go on the circuit with their customers all out race cars. Ask for Colin, he is one of the best mechanics I have ever seen.

I used to go to Stage in Kirkland but they put a nice nickel size chip in my hood and proceded to cover it up with touch up paint. They did not even tell me about it. When i called I was very upset and they said "oops, we forgot to tell you we dropped a tool on it. I guess we owe you a repaint on the hood." Did I ever see it? NO.

speedware aligned and cornerbalanced my ole wagon...but the cornerbalance wasnt up to par, they made all the tires different psi which made the car feel twitchy. so found a local with some scales. alignment was dead on though. got all the specs i wanted.

 

I've used omni before on my dads miata and was happy with their work. They aligned the car to my specs and the rate was very reasonable.
