Alignment for slammed car help!
I've been denied from 3 shops in my area for an alignment. They had some pretty lame excuses. I have rear ingalls and no front camber. I need an alignment. Can somebody please recommend a shop. Near San Bernardino would be best. I'm not going to la or the oc for and alignment. Help plz. Need an alignment ASAP.
just went thru the same shit with the same setup as u, ingalls in the rear and no front kit. Firestone in one town denied me and another did it with the help of some wood (some of which I brought to add to what they had). I do recommend u removing ur front bumper especially if u have a lip kit since the end of the racks usually have a lip and it ended up scraping the bottom of my lip kit

no problem, they are gunna scrape ur sides alittle when going up the ramp depending on how low u are no matter what but to avoid that lip at the end of the rack just remove the bumper. I should have since they did scrape the bottom of my lip alittle but it can't be seen. ill def remove mine next time lol
I would recommend wheel house in rosemead but I know you said thats too far. For close, theres a place I got an alignment at in riverside. They have an underground area so your car is driven onto a flat ramp and they go underneath the ground and work on your car that way. It was one of those spots in a gas station with an alignment rack.

back to work" on my car. Meanwhile, ALL the technicians there were staring at me and talking to each other -___- I was like, wtf? After the 30 minutes, the tech pulls the car out and goes straight to the office. He didn't say anything to me or even look at me! So I got up and went straight into the office. As i approached them, they slowly stopped talking. The manager says "here are you keys." I said ok?? Are you done? Oh btw, imagine you being mad at me for being too low. That's the attitude they had towards me! YOU"RE TOO LOW. Too low? What do you mean? YOU'RE SLAMMED. (Holding angry gaze) I know that, so what did you do? NOTHING, YOU'RE TOO LOW. CAN'T TOUCH IT. I realize I'm low, but there are adjustments for situations like this, hence the alignment....NOPE, CAN'T DO IT. OK. Took my keys and left. There's more to that story, like how the tech told me he's been doing this for 10 years and knows what a camber kit does. Funny thing is, I put the rear ingalls on, and he said he can't adjust my camber because it will pull the top out and make me rub.
Part 2.
On to the 4th spot. This guy was AMAZING. Not only did he fix TOE ALL AROUND, he got 4 DEGREES POSITIVE CAMBER in the rear! And the front is almost perfect! All around, I am 90% to 0 camber! And ALL TOE is GONE! Amazing how mr. 10 years knew so much, but I somehow got 4 degrees positive out of the exact thing in which he said was not gonna happen, no way no how. I'm extremely happy with how my camber/toe is set up now! It was a little pricy, but he did an excellent job.
The end.

nope sorry i was reading it off my cell and missed your longer story. well thats good to hear you got it done. i too had a bad experience with guys who didnt know how to do it but all they did was alignments and tires.
they basically used a hammer to adjust the areas they didnt know how to do.
