Alignment Shop

JDrago1926 · 08-18-2013, 03:00 PM

I just did my m3 control arm in the front swap and still have my stock oem in the back. I am located in Suffolk, where can I go that will do an alignment for me? I don't want to drive the car too far as I already drove 15 miles from my shop home with the car and no alignment...

M3 Front
335i Rear

How much? Reviews? and location? I am located in the Babylon area.

I've always heard really good things about rct performance and they're not far from you.

I was going to go to RCT Performance, they are 30-35 miles from me... Is it safe to drive that far?

I found 'Camber Toe' (Lynbrook) on these boards three years ago. Glad I found them.

Recently, I brought my car in about a month ago for a light coming up. They checked it, and suggested I go to the dealer b/c it may be turbo related, and I'd be covered under the extended warranty... I was. Just last week, had them throw on some new tires, and do an alignment.

How much? Can I drive that far with my car not having an alignment.

What is the pricing? Is it safe to drive 33 miles there?

I believe its either $100 or $150.. I think i paid $100 because i had the rims and tires mounted at the same time as the alignment so they gave me a break on price

All good, lesson learned. Don't let dumb ass friends who claim to know what they're doing work on your car.

My boy put the plate that holds the injector in backwards... cost me $300... 1 new injector, clean up job and new fuel rail and new injector plate I believe...

$150 to tow off Van Wyck and free to tow to my shop with Verizon

thank god!

Fucking idiots man! The real idiot is me for trying to cut a corner and save $150 because I knew how to code the injector... Next time I'll do the labor myself or have someone who's actually knowledgeable do it.

Firestone does my wheel alignments pretty well actually

I spent $200/each on a lifetime alignment plan on all my cars... I just get the alignment checked/adjusted every 3 or 4 months for free and never have any issues.

$200 for life? That's a damn good deal, I'll go there now that I have my spec sheet... I paid $100 for 1

lol

fazman · 08-25-2013, 12:01 PM

Yea and Firestone is nation wide... so even if you move... you still get your lifetime alignment deal across the entire USA
