Alignment shops

[illusioneclipse]

I need to get an alignment for my car. Anyone know of a good place around the twin cities that does it and reliable?

Looking for good, or cheap? Allignments are one of those things where you get what you pay for.

jeff the alignment guy. Been there twice, totally happy with the results.

The Alignment Guy. The only person who has aligned my car and hopefully the only person who ever will.

K, thanks...how much does "the alignment guy" usually charge?

[94SOHC]

Lets say his rates are pretty damn good.

This. Most everyone I know that gets work done by him ends up paying him more than he asks for because his rates are that good.

another +1 for jeff. although I sometimes use my firestone lifetime if I don't need anything special done

like how good?

I'm not comfortable saying because he's that affordable. Call him up and find out yourself.

I did... told him that if he didn't charge more he wouldn't be around to align a car for me in the future

+1 for Jeff the Alignment guy
i've had at least a half a dozen times by him, all excelent.

Seriously, please tip jeff if you can. he way undercharges for the quality of work he does, and the willingness to work with custom setups.

[illusioneclipse]

I am going to call him tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!!!

+1 on Jeff, I've always given him more considering how well he does alignments.

As seen here, he's had a lot of great reviews about his work and the cost of his work, but what about time to get in...is he usually booked solid for a while?

For instance I have a set of new struts/shocks to install, just waiting for the other half of the shipment to show up (Pedders springs which should be here by the end of the month). If I wanted to get in to get an alignment in the first week of April would I have to call now or could I call say a week out? I want to make sure of weather and other things when I install my new setup and I don't want to be driving around for a week or better without an alignment.

jeff's availability is very seasonal
right now, he could probably do next day. as we get closer to the opening autocross and road racing seasons, he gets booked up really fast.

i'd really suggest calling him, and asking what his schedule looks like. he is his own shop, and usually at the start of race season he starts to put in tons of hours. you may be able to book a Sunday afternoon/evening appt that would give you all day saturday to do the suspension install

jeff is the man. He was the only one that could and would work on my evolution III

[khilgers]

Also for you people that are pretty low, you can get onto the rack just fine. Mines pretty low and we got it on there. No worries.

He just did the neon today. Two big ass thumbs up, cool guy, does good work and rates are defiantly reasonable. For anybody looking for an alignment go to Jeff. Glad I happened across this thread before I did my coilovers and tie rod ends or I may have gone uninformed.
