Default Alignment Shop NYC Area

Anyone know of a good place I can take my car in for an alignment? I need some place that would be able to adjust the camber. I have the skunk2 camber kit installed. I tried Sears and the tech there said he didnt know how to. If you know of any good shops in queens, brooklyn, long island please post. Thanks.

Didn't you post this same thread before? Also, car shops are a dime a dozen in NYC. Find a local one by your house that you feel comfortable with and start giving them your business. If you build a relationship with a shop it's amazing what they'll do for you and at what prices.

Yes I know I posted it before, but I realized it was in the wrong forum and I wasnt getting any useful replies. (just like your reply) As for local shops, I tend to do most mods/upgrades to my car with friends so I can gain the experience and have some fun, I really dont trust other ppl doing work on my car. Maybe when I do a swap I will look for a shop but thats not gonna be for another few of months.

there's a place on liberty ave in queens. it's between merrick blvd and the van wyck expressway (long stretch, i know, but i don't remember the exact street it's off of). actually it's across the street from a Hess gas station and there's a junk yard place on the corner. i don't remember the name of it, unfortunately. i got my 97 civic aligned there a couple of years ago. i've seen a lot of tuners come through (both domestic and import).

And try posting on this board - they should be able to help you. With a Skunk2 kit you want someone that is a perfectionist. The Skunk2 kit if you move the arm like 1/2mm it changes the camber degrees ALOT!
