Paying more doesn't necessarily mean you are getting a better job. I too am very picky about where I take my car. Ask the tech that worked on my car, I was next to him throughout the mounting and balancing of the tires and the alignment.

You are right... I went with trust first, then checked price... And I will be standing over his shoulder too. That is a must...

Not to hijack the thread, but a related question: after having lowering springs put in, how long should one wait before getting the car aligned? I know new springs take awhile to take a set...is there a usual time, or is it by miles?

Thanks. Can't wait to get my FRPP B-springs in and get rid of that gap!

Heh - Yeah - You do not need to wait the 6 weeks I did. I just have been bogged with work. I was planning 2 weeks as was recommended to me, but that came and went...
