I've had it done on 2 of my cars with great results. I don't think they heat anything, they use a custom hydrolic/pneumatic tool.

yea Bro i totally took my 90' integra with 97' LS swap (1/4 mile @ 16.7) to get aligned. But 2 days earlier i smashed into a curb late one night while eating a cheeseburger...haha what a dumbass!! so i had to pay more to get my control arm fixed, they do sweet work though i highly recommend it! The burger was damn good though!! lol

ok so this guy supposedly does awesome work, but what happens if you hit a curb like the dumbass eating a cheese burger did and bend your lower control arm? are you supposed to take it back to him and let him fix it again for another 150 bucks? or what if you decide to raise your car back to stock ride height w/ factory springs or whatever, isnt that gonna throw off your camber? im not downing this guy but im just CURIOUS??????
