Question Auto Innovations

Does anyone know if they use a laser system to do alignments? If not, looking for alignment recommendations of places that do, hopefully around the East Bay. TIA

That's what makes their alignments so great. They have the latest tools you need to make the perfect adjustments you want. Go to AI, they're great people with a great shop.

having the latest equipment is key. Knowing how to use them is as important. these guys know how to uese them and have experience in Subies. I had my car alligned in some other place with a similar Hunter machine and it was still messed up.

I got there for my alignment needs, and they have been great. I've been going there for nearly 3.5 years now.

Check out Brandon Krause http://www.rogerkrausracing.com/ in Castro Valley. Brandon is a racer and has a very nice setup. He will set your alignment to whatever you want (if it is possible). They can perform high speed computer balancing for tires as well as corner balancing if you have coil overs. Brandon has worked with Gary Sheenan setting up his car.

Will auto innovations align to specs that I want instead of OEM specs? or as close as possible

Yep and that's one of the things that makes them awesome. They'll dial in the settings as close as possible to what you request.

Great people, great prices, and excellent work.

You can visit the shooting range next door if you get bored waiting. (Or the Milpitas PD...)

AI were the only ones who could get more negative camber in front. they got -1.5 on stock bolts and struts, with prodrive springs. whereas, other places could really only get -1.3 if they tried really hard.
