allignment problem HELP!

[TunedIS300]

so i had a local shop do my allignment for me i am drop on skunk2 pro s and they did the allignment and my steering wheel crooks to the left a little bit when im goin str8 and they tryed to fix it 2 times but it still crooks to left alittle when im goin str8 so if i brought this to a diff place that does better allignment could this be fixed becasue alot of ppl had problems wit this shop wit thier allignment...i shoulda went to r/t tuning

There's no reason your steering wheel should not be centered.

Take it to another shop.

yea it was crooked real bad and then they fixed it when i took one of the guys out for a ride. and now it still isnt center.. it crooked to the left by a tad bit but it noticable. i am also really low so idk if that would effect anything.. its crooked to the left a bit when i str8N the wheel i veer to the right soo idk wat to do i just paid 70 buck for an allignment and now i mite have to do it agian..hopefully my tire wear isnt major

[1stgenrocks]

yea they did it wrong. centering the steering wheel is the easiest part of doing an alignment so if they didnt even get that right....

$70 is cheapppppppp

you get what you pay for.

ur alignment is done very wrong, it doesnt sound like they did anything right, and that is very cheap too cheap to believe they actually did an alignment

[TunedIS300]

yea honestly i think they increase my camber so my tires can wear faster....idk what to say im goin back to them again ..im just scared theyr g onna make thinks worst

[BoostedQuad4]

yeah it is messed up how shops try to get over on unsuspecting people, most shops dont operate the way mechanics shops used to, they used to try to take care of people, i dont know maybe its the economy

[Fujito]

Can't blame everything on a bad economy. There are just a lot of shady mechanics, which is why it's better to pay more for a good job from a reputable place/person.

i would demand my money back and take some where else or get them to redo it and watch them do it.

[TunedIS300]

yea i stop goin back...my car still veers to the right when my wheel is str8 i gotta save up money and get it re aligned i dont wanna deal wit their **** or argue wit them...im a full time student i cant keep affording to run into issues wit them...

[Preston]

I'm a mechanic...our shop charges $74.99 for a one time alignment or $149.99 for a lifetime, where you pay that once and whenever you want you bring it back to get it reset again for free as long as you own the car. I agree that there are a lot of shady quick buck people out there, but don't hate on all of us lol. I take great pride in fixing my customers cars right and doing only the things it legitimately needs.

[bmatyeah]

where did you take it

[TunedIS300]

sad to say but ground level customs in lansdale

Post your readings if you have them. I'm willing to bet that your caster numbers are either nearly the same or your left side is more positive then the right. Try driving down the center lane or left lane of a highway where the road crowns to the left instead of the right. If that helps you track straighter, then you have a caster issue and I think there are companies out there that will have a camber/caster kit for a 08 civic (guessing that's the car we're talking about).
