Lowered + Body kit + Need 4 alignment = PITA!!
Friday, June 30, 2006 10:14 PM
Well i have spent the better half of this week trying to find a place who would give my car an alignment. I checked out a total of 10 different places local to me and only 2 out of the 10 would even consider giving my car an alignment. Even the top brand name stores- Good Year, Firestone, Monroe, Kost tire, 3 chevy dealerships, 1 midas.... The local high end performance car repair shops which i know would have touched it, was backed up for pushing more than a week... So this afternoon i went to Home depot and bought a 8foot piece of 2X10 and had them cut it in half.. as i needed a way to clear the gutter at the end of my driveway. I brought the board with me in the cav, which fit nicely in the trunk BTW, and tried the last place i could think of.... Pepboys. ... For the first time EVER... i recieved Phoenominal service there and one of the younger kids said he would try it for me... PROGRESS! It would not go on the lift as it was, so i whipped out the board, and the car maybe had 1 inch worth of clearance between the bumper bottoming out on the lift....



So needless to say... i got the last thing accomplished i needed to do before i can mount the 18"s to the car....

The kid was very tedious at not hurting my car and probably the best service i ever recived there...

Also tipped him $10 bucks on the side for doing what other places wouldn't even have attempted. Anyone else have this much trouble?
