Default Wheel alignment

Anyone know a good place in nova where they can do a wheel alignment for lowered vehicles?

I heard of PTuning. Anyone else?

I also tried Merchants and couldn't get it up the ramp

If your looking for a toe and go kinda thing then i would say go to good-year or any independent shop with a hunter machine. But if your looking for a good alignment that is adjusting camber,caster and toe then i would suggest taking it to a performance oriented shop that knows what you want. If the shop says they cant get it up the ramps they don't want your business.

I work at Goodyear and we have no problem adjusting all of those, and we even adjust them to the customers needs. Not too long ago we had a Miata in and the customer brought his own sheet with the specs he wanted and we did it.... With places like Goodyear, Firestone, etc. It's really up to the person you are talking to and not the shop. It's still worth a shot to try to get it done at one of those places. Goodyear has a 12k mile/12 month warranty, and I believe Firestone has that aswell, along with a lifetime warranty alignment for like $150.

But yeah, you are right about the lowered cars thing. I've heard the guys up front tell people no that had lowered cars. We don't get too many lowered cars in, but the ones we have had in drove on the rack without any problem.

Ptuning is really quality when it comes to alignments and getting done what the customer wants. Also, they specialize in lowered vehicles so I think that would be your best bet to tell you the truth.

NTB In manassas, they did mine and comes with a 1 or 2 year warranty whichever you decide. PTUNING is good but there is no warranty if you have coilovers. I wont be going back to Ptuning anymore

You may want to check and ask when you go to a Firestone, Merchants, Goodyear and all of those shops if they do not warranty their alignments if you have after market/altered suspension setups. I know years back when I worked for Merchants, they wouldn't warranty them. Then again most of the Merchants shops I worked at with them didn't have anyone worth a damn doing alignments, just toe and go, don't worry about the rest. Say it can't be adjusted anyways. So it didn't matter.
