I need an Alignment Shop

[M.Dest.B]

anyone know a good one in the south bay?










the place i am considering is called el tapitio :laugh: looking for something i wont laugh @ when i hear the name... thanks....

[BISKIT]

Go to Darin at West End Alignment. The guy is the master of alignments.

[M.Dest.B]

fuck i already knew about that dude..... but 120$ and you need an appointment :(




and i heard they align your car with u in it... so when u get out it looks slanted but when u get in its completely level lol

[Martini]

well it's best to do the alignment with full normal weight for the best set up for you. do that makes sense.

some of the dragster guys actualy lift their front end to launching height and align there so the get the best alignment.

I fixed my toe the other day at school. I need C plates and Adj LCA's to be able to bring the rest of the car into correct alignment. I'm about .5 degrees off on my thrust angle right now.

[M.Dest.B]

:mad: imma just go buy some 4x4's so i can get up ur ramp :D





when is a good time to come by buuuuuuddy :D

[Martini]

before 8:30pm on Monday or wednesday.

can't you take off your chin spoiler for one day?

oh yeah and everything in the mustang is prettymuch fixed, so the only thing we can adjust is the toe.

unless you have C plates then we can adjust the rest on the front end.

Try Chicane Sport Tuning... They aligned the V6 w/ MM c/c plates for about $45 (this was 6 yrs ago though). Then after a couple years, I went back to have them check the alignment if it was off and was not charged (which kinda shocked me), but I left it as it was and drove off as a happy customer. Joe is very knowledgeable and backs up his work as well...if you are looking for a good local shop.

[M.Dest.B]

chicane does alignments? :D

[M.Dest.B]

[CEE1NG_RED]

I guess you did not call Chicane and ask for an alignment????? It's near your area and he does great work.

Its who Joe will refer you to if you wanta "real" wheel alignment

[Martini]

we just put a corvette up on our alignment machine using blocks of wood. so we can align your car chris. again we're not going to be able to change much other than your toe

[M.Dest.B]

sweet! thanks man, hows wed? Also, glad u got some wood blocks, i was gonna goto homedepot and donate some lol



what u change is the same any other alignment shop would change right?


when i speed up its fine but when im slowing down it pulls to the left :(

[Martini]

this week is out. we have another car going in on wednesday i'll ask to see if i can get a car on the rack next monday. and since nothing is really adjustable the only thing we'd be changing is your toe. and unless it's really off it wouldn't affect anything.

[Handz]

Darin@WestEnd>*

[Martini]

again, if you dont have anything adjustable all they're going to do is loosen the jam nut on your tie rod end, rotate the assembly to correct your toe, then tighten the jamb nut and done.

[M.Dest.B]

sounds good :) monday it is :cheers:

[CEE1NG_RED]

sounds good :) monday it is :cheers:

I guess that's a no on Chicane...unless they raised up their fee for alignment or they don't do it anymore. :shrug:

Nice! That's pretty good! I've seen shops charge anywhere from $30 on up to about $90! Well when I finally get my suburban's engine's cross brace welded and reinforced, I think I'll make the trip over there and have you align it :nod: :cheers:

Hey Marlon, I have a lot of customer from your neck of the woods. I don't know why I brainfarted and didn't remember you but I'll be sending some business your way.

[FlyFord]

Ok, cool, a little extra work is always nice

[slow232]

hey marlon, i have a ford lightning that is that dropped 4 inches up front, i have camber bolts and the person that did my alignment could not get it right, my tires have excessive wear on the inside, would you be able to fix it? and if so is it still 65? if it is you have a customer, i am tired of having to replace tires every year.

[FlyFord]

Yes I Can Fix It, And Yes I will do it for 65.00

[Blanco32v]

oh nice. How about a REAR alingment? I had my car aligned at a shop and they didnt believe my rear end also needs alingment. Told them I had IRS, they said i added that myself and its a race item that they cant work on. So im never goin there agian....

Its a 2001 Cobra btw. Forgot i dont have a sig on this forum, lol

[FlyFord]

75.00 for a 4 wheel alignment on the cobra

[Enorbit3]

well just got back. Marlon is a pleasure to do business with and is very knowledgeable....he had the car all done in about 25 minutes and it handles 10x better....i highly recommend Marlo's Frame and Alignment...

on a side note, when i was chillin there with Marlon a couple of his buddies stopped by....they pulled up in a srt8 challenger that had some coilovers and exhaust and man that thing was nice....sounded great and looked awesome....

if anyone is in the area or needs an alignment, take it down to Marlon.

[grumps91GT]

gonna be headed to marlo's in about 15...will let u guys know how it goes.
