My car's been drifting to the right a bit and I don't want it to get worse so I might as well fix it asap. What's a good place to get my car realigned, I heard Costco is cheap and good but I heard you have to buy tires from them first and then you get the service? How much do realignments go for?

 

whats wrong with drifting?

 

Auto Innovations in milpitas is awesome. Cost me $60 to get aligned but it's more if you're on coilovers.

its 100 at AI with coilovers and 60 without.

AI hands down, great ppl and great service. you dont be disappointed.

Firestone

$160 single time charge with lifetime alignment. Definately worth it if you plan to keep the car for a while. AI charges $60 per, so after 1.5 years (if you get one done every 6 months) it's already paid for itself.

 

but does Firestone only align to stock specs? If you want something more aggressive, AI looks to be a winner.

 

+1 for that. AI is definately the place to go if you want performance specs. For Firestone, I asked them to pull as much negative camber as they could (on Group N top hats so no camber plate) and they only pulled out a WHOPPING -0.19 degrees. However, they said they'd pull more out with camber plates, hell they even tried searching online for some cheap ones to try and sell me haha.

 

Forget AI go to Carlsen Subaru in Redwood City and have Tony align your Subie to the specs you want.

 

Great thanks, I think I'll go to Auto Innovations soon. My car is stock and I thikn it's just the horrible potholes in SF that I keep running over. 60 sounds like a good price. Thanks for all the replies! Btw, how much is it to align at Carlsen Subaru?


*edit
whoops I htought I could google AI or search on the boards but can't seem to find their address, anyone got it?
