Default SE Michigan Alignment shops

I would have done a search but that function seems to be no longer available.

So are there any recommendations for a good 4 wheel alignment shop in SE Michigan somewhere around Troy?
My 2000 is due up as I have been noticing some unusal tire wear.
I have used Cranes in Mt. Clemens before but I don't think they have the equipment to do all 4 wheels?

Thanks,


.

There is a place on Woodward in Birmingham called "Bruces Alignment" (if I am remembering correctly) that I heard some good things about.

The guys at Bruce's are pretty good. They don't use the new automated equipment, they do it manually. I would also recommend them.

I use Jakes Automotive in Sterling Heights 586 726 6900. I replaced my UCA's with after market ones from LG Motorsports (rod ends) on my Camaro. The first alighnment after the new arms, new bushings, lowering and coil overs etc. can be difficult and time comsuming but he did a good job. I will use him again when I lower the Z.
He had all the latest laser gear give him a try.

I send all of my cars whether its a street or race car to Jakes.
Gary has a phenominal understanding up what setups need to be in strip cars, street cars are a piece of cake for him.

We recently sent Brians Z06 there as he was wearing the rear tire unevenly (down to the cord on outside) and found the rear camber was knocked out.

I agree with Bruces, good guys there. They do align them manually, and
certainly seem to know what there doing.

My car seems to be running and driving great. Had them allign it this summer and he spent a good 3 hous and only charged me $180.

Don't even think of asking him if everyting is rusted up though.

Cranes in Mt Clemens. They did a great job on my shelby cobra (4 wheel alignment).
