Where to get an alignment

Alright guys, I need to get my rims and tires balanced, and I wanna get an alignment done as well.

Anyone have a preferred place they go to? I probably wouldnt trust a shop like sears or something, any input?

They are located near Best Buy in Aiea. They will align the car to your exact settings.

Yea Island brake and Alignment is good cause they do really low cars and don't charge any more if you want different settings I think its around $75

If you are a townie (i.e.: live in town) go to Pacific Automotive (http://www.pacificautoperf.com)
They do my car exclusively. Not to mention that Ryan (from Vakamon fame) is there now..

Unfortunately, I have not repaired it yet. The dented rim still holds air, so I'm running it like that for now. But I am gonna get it repaired very soon. I'm thinking about checking out that place they had in the paper, Titanium.


And thanks for the suggestions guys! I think I'm gonna give Pac. Auto a try, being that I live in town.

Wow, that's a pretty good deal compared to Bay Area prices.
How does it compare to typical O'ahu prices?

normal ones like at Sears or Lex Brodies are like $60 but they wont even do lowered cars and they're rude about it too atleast from my past experiences

Island Brake & Alignment FTW. I've taken all my cars there, they do the best job with both lowered and stock ride hights. Great service and fast. I would never use anyone else.

Ah, I see. It's like $70 minimum here, with higher prices for higher end cars (like $120 to $150 for BMW's and Benz's, and of course more for Porsches and other sports models). A few standard alignment places in Bay will gladly tackle lowered cars, but may charge more or only bring it to stock spec.

Pacific Automotive may charge more for lowered cars but the higher price is well worth it, because Ken does a good job
