NE Philly, Mayfair looking for good alignment shop - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Yeah so right now my car is at the body shop but when its back I need to have it aligned.

Its a 240 and I just did a ton of work to it. Lowered, Z32 brake upgrade, all new bushings, and upgraded sway bars,wheels and tires, Front lower control arms, inner and outer tie rods (adjustable), Rear lower ball joints, Cam bolts, adjustable toe and traction rods.

So with all of this done the alignment is way off. Its not a DD at all. I am looking to eyeball align it the best I can then have it done. But with all the aftermarket upgrades I am looking for a good alignment shop that will take their time and do it right. I am in Mayfair and would like something really near by so I can drive it there and back.

Well most shops are just trying to get cars in and out. I want it done right and knows what to do with a modified suspension.

Hes a ways up, towing would be needed but I know his work. I was just hoping for something 5 miles or less.

ok I think I can help you out. I believe there is a shop in Mayfair called Nick's. Nicks autobody or something like that. They aligned my rx7 when I had it. Did a really decent job. I think it may be nicks autobody. But I definately know it's nicks something. They are a little off torresdale ave on a sidestreet

Sorry for bringing up a semi old thread. Just thought I'd help out and contribute since you never posted if you've found one

OutToWinPAHC · 01-05-2009, 06:44 PM

It was ready but no anymore, I heave the rear out again so I have to get it all together and eyeball allign it. But I found a shop around the corner with a new allignment rack who is going to do it and tig my exhaust too.

If you wanna do it RIGHT and not have problems, i say R/T tuning also. I got my mr2 done there, so did my friend's STI and his cousin's wrx...EXCELLENT JOB and also very knowledgable. They have a great rep and i will def return there. it may be a bit of a hike down 309 but its worth it. they also can handle lowered cars, something a lot of shops cant do without breaking a bumper.
