I've just lowered my car and need to get it aligned, but I am running into problems finding a shop that can do it. I've tried searching but all the results seem to be in Hampton Roads. Does anyone know of a good place to get an alignment done in the Alexandria area?

btw: Camber isn't adjustable on my car right now, so I am just looking to get my toe straightened out. Thanks in advance!

 

I think there is a NTB over around van dorn street. They should be able to do it fine, but one question if you just lowered it why would the toe get messed up??? Isnt it the camber that needs adjusted for the most part after lowering a car??

 

Thanks, I'll check out that NTB.

Camber is usually the most affected by lowering, but toe can also change. Usually there will not be much change in the toe unless you go extremely low - I didn't lower mine too much, but I just want to make sure. Check out http://www.ingallseng.com/faq.htm .

 

There is an NTB near Van Dorn and Edsall Rd. right behind the mall.

 

This has been a real pain. I was able to find a place in Woodbridge that is able to align my car. The downside is that it will cost around $150. Here is their info:

R&B's Napa Auto Care
2800 Metro Plaza
Potomac Mills Home & Auto Park
Dale City, Va 22191
(703)494-2331


The places below are the ones that said that the could not do it:
Sheehy Honda on Rte 1
Just Tires
- Rte 1 at Potomac Yard
- Rte 1 at Bailey's Crossroads
NTB
- Rte 1 at Potomac Yard
- Edsall Rd (off of Van Dorn)
- Rte 1 near the Walmart
Goodyear Auto Svc
- Rte 1 near the Lowes
- Duke St by Landmark
Huntington Auto
Firestone on Rte 1 near Lowes
Virginia Spring & Alignment Service Inc in Arlington

 

For that price you are much better off going to a performance shop, Curry's in Dulles (I think they opened up one closer) will do it for $80 I think? ANyways they have a laser alignment machine and let me chill under the car with the mechanic and the remote digital display to set the car how I wanted.

 

i got mine done at merchants tire in burke.. i put my coilovers on and my wheels looked like this from the rear / \ they did it for only $80, i dunno what they used but it worked and my car was alot lower than stock height

 

I just called Curry's new location in Falls Church and the guy (Chris) said that they could do it. The price wasn't much lower than R&B, but it was cheaper and is definately closer. Thanks for the info!

 

No problem, they are really professional over there.. you'll be surprised.
How much did they quote you? Once I fix my rear tire problem and finish the coilovers I'll need an alignment BAD.

 

SEARS does full alignments for like $65.
