Default Alignment in Hampton Roads

After a few thousand miles I think my '08 is slightly out of alignment. Who has a recommendation on a good alignment shop? Does Hunter still make the best alighment machines or is it the technician that matters most???

Frank,

You need to contact Rex Harris at Performance Tire and Wheel Services. He's a Beachcomber and we all go to him for wheel, tire and alignment work. He runs a HVAC service but does alignment work on is off time.

435-1880 is is cell...call him next week and he'll meet you there one afternoon.

1224 Executive Blvd Suite 106 Chesapeake, VA 23320

+1 for Rex!

He just mounted up new tires and aligned my 99' Saturday.

He is very precise, and careful.

He is not cheap, but he is a good guy, with good equipment doing good work.

Rex and I are meeting Saturday morning to drop my car 3/4" and then do the alignment. I'll provide feedback when it's done.

Happy Holidays,

Frank

I just returned from having my alignment done. Much better!

The factory settings were off, imagine that??? The left and right toe were both off 0.19 for a total of 0.38. Rex and George brought it down to 0.0 degrees.

If you are feeling any sense of the car pulling left or right you really need to have this done!

Happy Holidays,

Frank
