    Oh, now it's my bad! I thought they have a normal alignment machine.

    Default Local Alignment Shops

    All I know for sure is that my alignment was messed up after I got my EVO back from the body shop and after taking it to two other places Ali at WORKS was able to identify and correct the problem. Thanks alot Ali, I just wish you guys did full tire service so that I would not have to go any where else as I will gladly pay to have it done right.

    Default WORKS alignment @ corner weighting

    Glad we could help you out "greel08"

    BTW, we do have scales and we do offer in house corner wieghting @ alignment. And no, we do not have a traditional alignment machine. But we do have some fancy tools and tricks to make your car drive straight, not burn through tires, and handle like an EVO should!

    Oh yeah we can do the same for your other performance cars too, BMW, Porsche, Subaru, D1GP Car, etc...

    Ali, WORKS Engineering Team...

    Haha I am wondering why they charge double of what others charges too, however from what I heard, every one went there said their service worth every penny and the level of detail they looked into is just as outragous as what they charge. :P

    They better use their man juice to shine my newly mounted tires for $140

    That alignment is 3x what other people charge, not double.

    Every time I pull up to custom alignment I see an assortment of Porche's, Ferraris, race cars (from nascrap to road racers).

    I paid for a full alignment on my talon. The car handled like it was on rails. Custom Alignment simply is the best I have found in the bay area, Motorsports techniques is a very close second place (only because they don't corner weight last time I checked)

    you definately get what you pay for.
