Pre curser so its nothing on Mike: He has nothing to do with Alignments other than the rack is in his shop and he gets a cut of the profit. Mike has always treated me good with tires etc.
#1 The alignment guy only works Mon - Friday 12 - ISH to 5 or so. If you can't get off work or what not you're fucked.
#2 The alignment can run you from Quote: "$69.95-$299.95 depending upon how long it takes him to adjust the car" - Jen. This kinda pisses me off cause if he wants to dick around and fuck off he can charge you what he wants. I would think no longer than a Hr. Advanced will NOT give you a straight up answer.
This kinda reverts you back to #1 cause if it takes ____ hrs to do an alignment and you have an appointment time you may get bumped etc. Not cool.
Cars and Concepts probably does the best alignment around. I think its about $80.00 or so. They also do corner weighting. Call and ask for Thomas. Check it out. I may end up going there when I put on my rims. Right now I'm rolling around on my drift shit, and I don't care for a full blown alignment.
Everything you said applies to Cars and Concepts as well...it's $80, but you will get charged hourly if it runs over the alotted time. When I had my car there for an alignment, I had to take off of work because of the Mon - Fri until 5pm thing. Not bashing them at all since they do good work, if you need a real race alignment they will get it done right, but their policy is the same as Advanced Perf.
