Great Wheel Alignment in Toronto ($60): Altech Automotive REVIEW - Page 2 - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

nospleeny · 05-19-2010, 12:04 PM

Maybe I should book for Saturday too!

Darklighter · 05-19-2010, 04:18 PM

What are good alignment numbers for street driving? I'm planning on getting one as well (though in GVR) as mine is quite bad ... Toe in at the rear and toe out in front. Its annoying how much the car tramlines and bump steers.

Ill come earlier to see what they do to your car

icandie · 05-21-2010, 11:00 AM

just had my alignment done. Great work, friendly service. I also recommend this shop.

DESI4life10 · 11-06-2010, 04:39 PM

Just bumping this thread for those that are interested in getting an alignment done.

Did one today and had a great experience. Pat made sure the car was driving perfectly. He will adjust it as many times needed to ensure everything is in spec.

Great shop. They are also setting up a second alignment machine and will be getting it ready for the spring time.

Bump uppp....wondering if this is still the best place to goto or if people found better/cheaper alternative?

TheRox · 03-11-2011, 05:35 PM

Umm...you should double check if they have the right tools to adjust castor on the BMW.

twboy1999 · 04-30-2011, 01:03 PM

just did my alignment there
very happy with the service.

Pat test drove the car before the alignment and after the alignment.
Spot on now

DESI4life10 · 04-30-2011, 02:52 PM

+1 My only place where I go for an alignment now. Pat always makes sure the car drives properly.

Andy M · 04-30-2011, 03:12 PM

Thanks for the thread, going to bring mine in next week maybe.

Rampage9 · 04-30-2011, 04:10 PM

Glad to see this thread come up, I need one. After the winter the car seems to be pulling the the left.

dzenno · 05-14-2011, 07:32 AM

This al tech shop doesn't have plates for all 4 wheels...I'd say it's great price wise but not where I'd want to do a perfect alignment...good for your average alignment job

triggz · 05-14-2011, 11:52 AM

Dzenno where do u go for a perfect alignment?

dzenno · 05-14-2011, 12:25 PM

For JUST alignment only, dealer...they have the best alignment machine for this car period...do it once and do it right

Yea...only the dealership (who outsources it to a Subaru dealer) does it correctly.

So you should be saying the Subaru dealership will do BMWs better then the BMW dealership itself because they are not capable of doing it themselves.
