No offense to curlysue or Dom, but I've never found a truly expert shop in the Tamiami airport area.
Miami Chassis Works on most of the Heat player cars and every other high end (modded) car in Miami (Bentley, AMG, Rolls, etc.). Danny is the man and knows his sh!t! Miami Chassis & Alignment - www.miamichassis.com 3051 NW 24th St, Miami - (305) 634-5211

Very true, it is hard to find a truly expert shop. Miami Chassis is the place, I will not take credit away from them. But when I called them earlier this week on Monday, and was treated like all they were worried about was money, I said hell to the no...not in this economy. To give you how bad an idea of the level of service, I sent various emails to Miami Chassis, never received a reply. I called, and without even seeing the car, or the issue at hand, I was quoted a non-negotiable price.  IMO...I will never refer any friends to Miami Chassis. I have just returned from the Alignment Factory, Ken is the owner, and he is the one who worked on my car. I have never had a better experience in my life when dealing with a shop. The only thing his shop does is Alignments. That is there area of specialty, and expertise. He does about 1 BMW per day there. And when I got there, he had 2 M's already there. He will work around your schedule, he is affordable, provides estimates, and will test the car with you before the alignment, and after.  In the Tamiami area, there is no-one that will touch a car with modified suspension for alignments. They will take a look at it, and turn you away, because the machinery in most shops is out dated. Alignment Factory FTW |

He does good work and gets what you want done, doesn't just try to throw the car somewhat into factory specs.

I hear ya... I hate their high prices too but am quite anal when it comes to working on any of my cars and the old saying is quite true: "You get what you pay for".
Unfortunately (for us), they don't need to really neg. their prices since they are always busy and get paid what they charge.

Miami Chassis wanted to charge me $200 for a front end alignment, and toe correction.
Remember....it wasnt your routine alignment, I hit a curb. They said the reason it was so expensive is because of the special equipment needed for cars on a lowered suspension. Ken did it for under $100. With what seemed to me as the same fancy laser guided, nuclear powered equipment, atom splitting, including genuine woodblocks to clear the ramp.  And the car has never handled better. I understand you get what you paid for...And Ken understands the power of word of mouth, so I am pretty sure he did the job right. |
