I'm looking for places on the eastside. Cantrell was another option, but I'm open to others (not Speedware). Seems like Bel Kirk gets rave reviews from the Evo guys here.

Thanks

Cantrell is good but I don't know what their pricing is like. They are more of a race shop and will be more expensive than bel-kirk

I keep trying to look around for a shop that will do a race* alignment and I haven't had much luck after TC Motorsports closed up shop.

Its hard for me to take my car to a shop that doesn't actually have cars that they race. I just don't feel they "get" it.

*caster, camber and toe dialed in post torqueing all without getting awkward steering wheel angles or thrust directions

I would recommend to contact Cantrell Motorsports. They're located in Kirkland.

I get mine done at Firestone and got the free lifetime alignments. I know of at least one Evo owner that works at one (though haven't talked to JR in a while to be honest).

Alternatively, I'd recommend Bel-Kirk; Tyler is there representing Evo owners.

Group 2 in seattle or Omni in Kirkland do track cars if that's what you are looking for.

Thumbs up Bel-Kirk

Bel-Kirk did my alignment and I'm pleased with the result. I'll take my EVO back there.

I know this is old, but if you still need a race alignment we can do that no problem. We do alot of auto x cars! And alot of evo's and subaru's. We do the same alignment as cantrell would for half the price!
