Alignment needed. Bay area shops help!
 
I need an alignment done for a 2004 wrx sedan. I went to other places and they couldn't fix it 100% for some reason. I need this badly, I went through 2 brand new tires fast already because the outside of the wheel gets worn out. It looks like I track my car everyday.

Any shop please help. Give me a PM so we can set up an appointment.

Thanks , Eric

A lot of people on here will recommend Auto Innovations in Milpitas. Orlando has a lot of experience with subies and is great to deal with.

I've heard people talk about what a great deal the firestone lifetime alignment deal is but I've also heard of them being incompetent and refusing to align custom setups which will hurt if your not stock.

I'd also recommend going to motorsport technique in hayward if your closer to that. Jack will hook you up.

I can recommend[URL="http://www.customalignment.com/"]Custom Alignment[/URL] in Mountain View and [URL="http://goodies-speedshop.com/"]Goodies Speed Shop[/URL] in San Jose. Both have done excellent work for me in situations where they had to think and problem solve

It sounds like you have something odd going on with the car. Before you go spending a ton of cash at a shop... what are the other shops saying is causing the problem with your car that it can't be aligned?

AI left my steering wheel cocked to the right and weren't exactly 'helpful' in standing behind their work.

My 2¢.

first I went to a local shop that I trust and he dose great work but he chouldnt get it fixed. Then took it to les swab but couldn't fix the problem. The numbers are almost spec but the car is still pushing to the right.

I've gone throgh bridgstone RE-960 pp in like 3 months. The front outer side of the tire is 100% complety gone.

Lowend 05-28-2009 07:18 PM

I'm not suprised Swab couldn't help you - they just go for straight factory spec - no creative stuff.
Is the car lowered, or have you hit a curb lately? Did this issue just start happening?

Could be a tire pull and not an alignment pull.
