...and of course if anyone is on the way to the beach I am doing alignments again and have specialised in Evos (align mine religiously) for the last 3.5 years. Aberdeen is a touch out of the way for most though. I use a Hunter R811 and am a certified and trained instructor as well.

Aaron aligned my car and his attention to detail is legendary. I let one of my lab buddies drive my car after Aaron worked on it and he was blown over by 1) how perfectly straight the steering wheel was, 2) how tight the car felt after the alignment.

Many shops have guys like Aaron, you just don't always know who you are going to get when you take your car in.

I miss being able to do my own alignments...realized how much I miss having a rack to work on too. Changing drivetrain fluids and putting coilovers on by myself on jackstands with no power tools = not fun. Now to find somebody with corner balancing scales that work on a Saturday...

I hear Aaron loves working the weekends! LOL, just kidding, you'd have to ask him.

OT a bit, I picked up a nice little ramp system on Craigslist that makes working on the car so much easier. You can kind of see the setup in the background of this pic; I'll take a better pic when I get back to WA.

Alignment is not the problem...it's finding a shop that knows how to properly corner balance your car and has the scales. Probably just go to G2 but trying to get over there before 5pm with my work schedule is gonna be next to impossible.

Come see me, I can get it done for you no problem. It's also backed with a warranty.
PM me if you need info on how to get to my store.

Tru-Line - awesome place but the entrance is not suitable for lowered cars. Bring 2x4's just in case your car won't make the monster ramp onto their lot and if you do go and use the side street entrance (if it's open) - tell'em pao sent ya and you might get a discount
