I am having some trouble finding a shop that will align my car. i have gone to various place in the blacksburg, radford, cburg area (mostly merchants/sears style places) but all of the shops refuse to align my car because its lowered.

can anyone help me out?!??!

thanks,

Guy

 

Guy,
Thats your problem.

Take it to a specialty shop. At Porsche we have the ability to align cars that are extremely low. The equipment we've been provided with has the ability to align pretty much any car you have, no matter its height.

So my advice is to find a shop or dealership that deals wit high-end sports cars or modified cars. They should be able to get you in!

 

How much is it lowered?

White Tire on 460/Orange Ave. in Roanoke should have no problem unless its slammed or something..

 

Richards Auto alignment in Salem as an on the floor alignment. Although it's old school style and isn't electronic if I remember. Now that I think about it, it'd be more worth it to take my bumper off and go to NTB then take it there. My steering wheel would always be slightly off.

 

thanks for the imput everyone!!

my car is not extremely low but my main problem is my 2.25 midpipe hangs down too much. Once i find someone to get the car up in the air for the alignment i am going to put the OEM midpipe back on.


has anyone had any luck closer to the blacksburg area??

 

Bring it to me,we can do it. I am right out side of Roanoke,off of I-81.

my car is straight slammed and i got it aligned at this shop on main st here in blacksburg, sorta up by that hess like you're going towards cburg. with enough 2x8's and some ingenuity (i.e. lifting up on the fenders to raise the car up an bit) we got it to work with very little issues.

 

thanks jeff. its getting kind of late right now. i will give you a call tomorrow!

thanks guys!

 

Firestone over by Corning (cburg/mall area if you aren't familiar) did my Jetta. I'm fairly low and they had no problems, but I don't think their rack was much different than anywhere else, maybe they were just willing to try it. This is how low I am:

 

If oyu cant get a place to align in bring it to Kings Tire in Pulaski and I will align it.
