Hey guys... you know where is the best and cheap location to get a wheel alignment... I will lower my car soon so any suggestions... I prefer locations between Oakland and Fremont please. Also give me quotes if you know the prices I want to set up my budget as accurate as possible.

 

I go to Auto Innovations, and a 4 wheel alignment is $60.

There is also Motorpsort Techniques in Hayward, but I'm not sure how much Jack charges.

 

where is AutoInnovations located? have a address or website that I can goto?

I need to look up motorsport techniques.

 

well I just called ..... motorsports techniques... he said 85 since my car isn't stock bc I'm lowering it. Lowering cost more he said.... =/

 

Auto Innovations said 80 .... Well I guess I save five bucks.

 

Auto Innovations
1337 Minnis Circle
Milpitas, CA 95035
408.956.8004

Steve and Orlando are the owners and do not charge a "lowered car" fee.

They do all of my work, even with the camber on my lowered xb, and on my lowered Matrix.

 

Oh yeah, tell them Brad, from 886motorwerx, sent you.

 

The xB is only $60, maybe its because of the adjustable rear lower control arms on the tC?

 

The tC's suspension is MUCH more complex than the xB's, so I can understand the extra cost quoted.

(And the factory specs require the vehicle to be adjusted to stock ride height...)


To adjust the alignment on a lowered tC must require some sort of aftermarket tables or charts.

 

let me know which place you're going to. i need to do mine too...i'm leaning towards auto innovations since so many people here vouch for them.

 

Maximus, C2 Automotive in West Oakland on 7th Street should be able to do it also. Will is a good mechanic also.

 

I just took my tC on TRD springs into Auto Innovations for a mount and balance of new rims/tires and an alignment. Orlando was professional and courteous, and the job was done right. I'm taking my other car back there for an alignment once I get some time. Worth the drive from wherever you are.

 

That's why I've been going to them for over 10 years now.

 

Would you recommend this place for general maintenance? I'd like to get a tune up on my box before I drive it to Oregon next month.

 

Can they fix a my negative camber due to coilovers?


James! let me know when your going!

 

haha me three... I been needing it for awhile but I keep forgetting

 

if it means anything.. i can vouch for auto innovations as well..

 

I would spend $150 at firestone and get lifetime alignment. You can get an alignment for the lifetime of your tC!

 

^ American Tire Company has the same kind of promotion I believe.

 

I wish I would have known that America's Tire had a lifetime aligment plan. It's a good idea to get one.

Try to stay away from Firestone, though.
