https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...tire-wear.html

im looking for a local shop where i can get my alignment fixed at. i have thought of going to a local midas or something like that, but not sure if its a good idea. anyone have any experience with their evo and those franchised chain shops?

Not a good idea. I would say G2, omni brake, and theres a guy on here that owns an evo that work for a shop, metallenium or something is his screen name.

I took my ride to BelKirk in Kirkland to get a custom alignment. Easy to work with and great prices. Actually had my car towned from Auburn to this shop when I wrecked it last week.

I use Omni in Kirkland, totally satisfied. Group 2 is excellent. There are many other good places, search for past threads. You can also search on the BMW club bulletin board.

You guys will not be disappointed with Group 2. I had an alignment and corner balance done last year and was very pleased.

I will be going back there again for another corner balance and alignment when I get home in preparation for this year's race season .

We will beat any prices for alignments, just PM me for a price. We can set it up how ever you like and our racks can take lowered cars unlike most other shops...
