What about over here in the Petaluma area, I just got some used tires put on and my steering wheel is off by a little, It does go down the road mostly straight... Do I really even need an alignment? I will definately make the drive to Auto Innovations if there isnt anything comparable around here... let me know!

Thanks All.

Speedmerchant would be convienient since I'm in Willow Glen. I've never thought of stopping in there ;thought it was all American Muscle. I'll check you out next time.

Ended up going to Auto Innovations. It was great, they did what they said they would do ,at the time they said they would do it, for the price they said they would do it. Even switched out a bad valve stem for me. Car handles great now, I think I was running a little too high air pressure in the rear. (But that's another thread) Overall great service.

Thanks everyone for the recommendation- saved me $140 and helped find a shop with great customer service. Happy.

Was the $65 for just the front or did that include a complete 4 wheel alignment?

It was $60 for 4wheel alignment when I mentioned I club. The Prodrive alignment specs were probablly best for handling, but i need to get more than 10K miles out of these tires. So I went with -1 in teh front and 0 toe front and rear.

Just got back from Auto Innovations today. Once again they did an outstanding job with my alignment, and I was in and out in under 30 minutes. Thanks again Orlando/Steve!

They took all of 10 minutes for a four wheel 0 toe alignment for my Forester.

Driving there (round trip) took about 6 hours... with the stop at Ikea to pick up an entertainment center, and the food and gas stops...
