alignment places in Atlanta

Need to find alignment places around Norcross/Atlanta area. The place has to be a place where my car can get on the lift (underground lift prefer)

Raise your car up a bit and you can get on any lift lol. Mine isn't quite as slammed as yours, but I had been really lucky taking my car to Firestone off Peachtree Industrial Blvd a couple of times. The second time I went there, I just opted for a lifetime alignment for $191 (includes tax). If that doesn't work for you, try NTB and ask if they have a floor lift rather than the traditional ramp lift. Some Firestones have the floor lifts, but I haven't found any near me.

Low and slow is all good, but you can't escape pot holes, train tracks, etc. That's why I REFUSE to drive my car downtown! lol

Trust me...the price is well worth it. They take excellent care of your car, they ask you how you plan on driving the car, and sometimes even let you sit in the car while they perform the alignment.

Perfect Performance gave me a computerized alignment reading for $45. Way off, def need my camber kit before i can get the alignment done. There is also a coupon on their website for $10 off. Im dropped and they had no problems.

Nice! How much is the alignment service? Also, you can print out a free alignment inspection off of Firestone's website if you want to go a different route. How much of a drop do you have? Mine is like an inch and a half I believe.

I had spoken with one of the service reps at Firestone - Perimeter and he said that there are some Firestone places with underground lifts. I have not been able to find one, but the one I had taken mine to on PIB is the drive up kind and my front A-Spec is still intact lol.

raising your car to get an alignment defeats the purpose if you are going to lower it back down.

bukjoe15, there's another alignment place I was told about that has an underground lift. Main location is in Alpharetta and another location in Buford.

I believe my friend said that alignment is only $89. That's cheap!

Price was $140. After he told me the price i said ok, kool. He asked if I wanted to set an appointment. I told him not at the moment, as I'm still shopping around, and don't have the time to get the alignment. He said thanks for calling and good luck trying to save a couple of bucks on you baby and click. lol what good customer service.

Just left grand turismo east. Unfortunately they was unable to do my alignment. The tech said dude we can't do stupid low cars and your car is stupid low. He told me to raise my car up 2 inches. I told him I'm not raising it 2 stupid inches. That would look stupid ridiculous. At butler tires now.the guy swears he can do the alignment. Just hope he can.

They got my car on the lift with no problems. But I was unsure of the toe specs he did. I would though he would set it to factory spec but he didn't he suggested the specs he gave me so I would have an even wear since I don't have camber kits. I hope that guy knows what he is talking about. Everyone that align my car did it to spec and I never had problem with it wearing fast on the inside
