Where do you get your alignment?
 

Hi guys i was wondering where most people take their cars for an alignment?
any good places here in richmond?

ive been to 2 places in richmond

some what low car friendly - but the machines were not calibrated so my alignment was really off

ever since - i only go to The Speed Syndicate since they are super low car friendly (my car is only 10cm from the floor) - and they calibrate their machines

i highly recommend The Speed Syndicate

i have my own settings i wanna use, would they be able to take custom settings?

Before it was at Dales in Langley, too far and found a better place. Gords FTW.

Care to share which two places? I get my alignment done at DHP which is also located in Richmond, have had good experiences with them.

Heard Autotech is now the go to place over Dales

yep - they always do it to my own settings


prefer not to - as its been over a year now so they might've fixed it now - but when i had my alignment done (4 times total) it was no where near what i requested

drivehard has been good to me

The Speed Syndicate +1

Heard good things about dynamic performance

Dale's. Always great service and know their shit

+1 for auto tech.

Dales. Been going there for at least ten years now.

when i'm in a bind, whichever shop that is available.. but then i'll still go to dales after when i have time.

Genuinely curious, but based on what kchan said, what kind of alignment racks actually need to be calibrated and continuously recalibrated? It is to my understanding that all of the Hunter Hawkeye Elites which some shops use and most dealerships use do not need any calibration as per Hunter's claims. I've had alignment done on old school racks and Elites but generally I always get the same results?

Always go to drivehard for alignments.

Look for Dave.

Drivehard or Speed Syndicate.

Speed Syndicate

Had an alignment done at DHP around two years ago and the the alignment itself was fine, but whatever they put on my wheels to do the alignment left marks on them. Did not have that problem at Speed Syndicate.

Dynamic performance hands down, great people over there.

ditto

+ 1 for Drivehard


done my alignment a dozen of times with their Hunter machine, never disappointed

dales

Drivehard

Had a great experience there everytime

Only ever been to TSS and National Tire in Burnaby. The latter is a much more affordable choice.

TSS

i have had my ef hatch done at dales without any issue

the DA was done at a Toyota dealership by a friend and asides that when i do minor suspension work i pull out a tape measure and correct the toeso i dont destroy the tires by the time i make it for an alignment
