Proper alignment does make a hell of a difference. Sounds like you made this guy happy.

Unfortunately we don't do corner balancing yet ... with lifetime alignments you run in to the problems of 1) a small percentage of customers abusing it and 2) I can't determine were and how you drive. If you like to ride the curb more than the street you will need an alignment once a week ... and thats not very profitable on a business side for a small shop ... the big boys (tire kingdom, pep boys) can offer that because they have other services to offset the cost.

Are you still in business?
What would you charge for an alignment on an 89 Si with Konis/GCs and no camber kit?

This will happen in a few weeks, I'm just trying to shop around. The car will not be dumped. I'm using this for autocross and daily driving.

My alignment was lifetime.. Sweet, I'll remember that next time I have an off track excursion :-)

Seriously Advance has been good to me. I was in a time crunch and they took care of my street tires and slicks, even as they were closing and did a quick alignment for me since I was leaving on a 3000 mile road trip.

They have seen tread pealed off a set of tires, a Blowout, fixed my alignment. AND wrestled a set of hankook slicks on my rims that 2 previous shops gave up on.

what kind of alignment machine do you guys have?

I am in need of an alignment for my s-10, yet no one wants to mess with it because of the air ride suspension, I can set the ride height once on the machine, and then align it from there.

Im also looking for a shop to recommend to all of my customers who we do suspension work for, i just need before and after printouts of camber, caster, toe, SAI and Included angle for that.

_ thanks Mike

John beam full camera system alignment machine. And the print out have before and after numbers. With the air bags an alignment is set at a certain hight once you change the hight the geometry changes and the alignment is off. So you would have make sure its always driven at that hight. But yes we can do it.
