alignment shop in san jose?

Wheres a good alignment shop in san jose? My girlfriends car needs an alignment ASAP. Nothing performance oriented, just a front end alignment on a honda (meaning it shouldn't run $100 for a front end alignment)

what I mean by "good" is a reputable shop

AUTO INNOVATIONS in MILPITAS! They are seriously really good. They 'test drive' your car to make sure everything is perfect.

I was newbie and installed my struts wrong by misplacing the washer and the lead guy knew right away something was up with my suspension. Spent a little over 30 minutes checking my car and found out the problem.

Anyway, everything was great and the alignment was dead on. I believe they charge everyone around $60 for the alignment. Don't quote me though

haha, I wont be there Kyle, she's getting it done tomorrow and I'm going up on Thursday.

She was backing out of a parking spot and a car came around the corner or something fast and startled her and she hit a pillar. She didn't hit it hard, but she hit parallel to the wheel, I guess messing up the toe

Yeah... have her go to AI. It is a little more than other places, but you know she'll be taken care of.

Auto innovations do rock, but for your girlfriends Honda...just go to wheel works and get the lifetime alignment.

That way you pay once..and get it aligned all you need.

do you think that AI would charge extra to adjust aftermarket camber kits? $60 is very reasonable, most places that I have heard of charge $70 to $90 for a standard alignment.

I'll have to call them up... maybe they can install my camber kit too...
