Need place to do wheel Alignment

battlehawk1025 · 12-27-2011, 11:26 AM

Hey Folks,
Have not been around here much with much of my time taken up with job searching

(recent collage grad)

. Anyway to the point. I went through my last set of summer tires (rear mainly) in less 10k miles. The inside where so worn down, you could see the belt while the outside had still had 60% tread on them. either toed in or there to much camber. But im looking for a shop that can do a proper alignment at a reasonable cost. Can you guys recommend a shop in the area of Wilmette or Ravenswood area(Montrose and Ashland )
Thanks
Sorry i have to get a pic winter tires are on now

VS Motorsports!

They are in Schaumburg not too much further from you in Willmette, and I would trust there work with there top of the line equipment

I think I'll end up going to VS. just cuz they are closer to me and I know they can fix the issue I have

Both are reputable shops, can't go wrong with either one of them.

Ricer X · 12-27-2011, 02:32 PM

Both are quality shops recommended here by members for a variety of things. IDK the alignment machinery that A&L has so take this with a grain of salt...VS has the top of the line equipment so barring anything otherwise, I would go there between the two in this case.

How much for an alignment at A&L or VS? I live pretty much right between them.

Mike Lu · 12-27-2011, 03:18 PM

swap coilovers + alignment cost me a little over $300 through VS. guys if I remember correctly. Correct me if I'm wrong, Matt

We can help you out. I will send you a pm with our pricing. Our alignment rack is the Hunter Hawk Eye Alignment, in case there are those wondering.

Never been to vs, thalmanns is outstanding. They have a drive on rack set in the ground if you are lowered and they do a great job
