Alignment in Atlanta

I just picked up a set of stock wheels and tires from an Ebay auction and was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations on places to go in the Atlanta area, preferably the north east part, to get the balance checked and an alignment done. Does boost solutions do this type of thing? My original set (with 21,500 miles on them!) is showing more wear on the outer edge of the front driver's side tire than anywhere else.

Thanks and best wishes,
f86sabre

I would also like to know a good place, it seems like every place I go does a bad job on it. I've gotten 3 balance and 2 alignments in under 6 months....And it seems that I need another one.

Try Gran Turismo East they are just inside the perimeter off of I-85.

I took it Butler in Doraville. It ended up being $260 +/- ( a wee nit more than I wanted to spend) for nitrogen fill, high speed balance and 4 wheel alignment. My driver's side front wheel was a little out of alignment. I hope this will cure the wear I was seeing. The customer service guy (Mason) did give me a WRC Evo poster. I had seen it hanging over his desk and asked if they had any more. He said no and then gave me his! I appreciate the gesture.

Best wishes,

I have got all my alignments here with all my cars and wouldn't go anywhere else. They know what they are doing and will customize the alignment to your driving style.

It a $35 / wheel for the balance and $89 for the alignment. What does Gran Tourismo charge?

I would just goto the Firestone somewhere in sandy springs. $100 lifetime alignment. Clay is the manager there and he's real cool. He takes care of import guys really well.
