Default looking for an alignment shop...

This morning I went to Pepboys so I can get an alignment done for my car. The guy said they couldn't do it cause my car was too low. He said that it would scrape if they lift it up from some ramp. I'm lowered on S -Techs by the way. Does anyone know a shop that can do an alignment around 909, 951, even 626?

look for a place that does RV's and big rigs. They usually have a drive-over pit. I was lucky enough to find one near me in the SD area.

Sears might be able to help also. It is true that our cars are low but if you go slow it should be ok.... your car is lower then mine so maybe there is a bigger issue then what I think ....because I have not had an issue w/ my car.

Firestone should be able to do it or Discount Tires since I got my alignment done there without any issues. I'm on coilovers but my front is close to 2 inch lowered. I dunno why hasmanson76 got that response but they would be able to do it.

if you want to roll all the way down to Gardena, you can go to West Coast alignment, the guy there is Darin. best in the business, he makes you sit in the car while he does the alignment so that your weight will be accounted for in the specs.
