Alignment costs?
 

Well im putting the drop on the Z next weekend (shocks & lowering springs) and im looking for a place that isnt going to charge me an arm and a leg for a basic alignment. Rather a good mom and pop shop as opposed to a chain. Doing the install in Lakehurst so somewhere fairly local to that would be cool. Thx in advance :)

Tire Systems ,1492 Ocean Ave/Rt 88 Lakewood (732) 370-5568 $59 and do good work. It should only be like 15 minutes from where you are getting the work done.

Yea I use to live in Howell I know exactly where that is...thx.

No problem.

Most "mom and pop" shops won't touch a lowered car for an alignment.

I know I won't at work.

I suggest TTP.

not to mention there is a special tool used to align 4th gens

W/ all the lowered cars nowadays sure there is. TTP's a hike..

why? what tool?

Eh, TTP is gonna charge you up the ass. I spoke with them about aligning the iroc after I rebuilt the suspension and put in the pro-kit and Matt was telling me something like $400 because they have to mess with it and figure it all out etc. I was told to check out Euro-Tire on Rt. 46E in Fairfield and they did an awesome job. They did some little odds and ends in addition to the alignment and it cost me about $100. They have a lot of race cars there, mostly road course cars. I also see a lot of porsches, a Grand National, Corvettes etc. Might be a hike for you though but there are options out there besides chain stores.

good to know... i just bought 4 new tires for the SS and need them put on, and an alignment would be smart at the same time so i dont chew up my fronts again. Ill head there sept 16th... lol

Yea I know he would thats why i wasnt even considering it...plus hes far as hell. Theres alot of local shops, ill find someone. My GF's sister boyfriend runs a goodyear in point pleasant.Its a goodyear but also very performance oriented...worse come to worse ill run it up to him.

:lol: mark? they are not performance oriented, at all :laugh: good guys though and they will do the alignment, just under $100.

No, not Mark...Not sure if were talking about the same one.

meh its like a hook that goes in certain spots on the suspension and pulls it into spec.

35 south in point beach? just before the old chevy dealer and burger king? across from woodhaven/walgreens?

dennis?

Sears in Freehold, ask for Pete Fekety. Owns a 2002 Trans Am, has done the alignment 100 times. He did my 72 and did anyone else's alignment I ever brought in.

Definately not bringing the car to Sears lol. In HS I had to explain what a torque converter was and why I had one in my LT1 to one of the "mechanics " at the seaview square one in Ocean rofl. Got a few good prices between 60-70 bucks.

i hear good things about RW Tires by mastoris

Ill look into it thanks man

Belive it or not, Sears hires some really good people. You probably talked to an Tech 1, a guy that installs batteries and does oil changes all day.
Pete is a very good friend of mine, and has been with Sears for a long time. He has been doing alignments for over 15 years.

x2 on that. my buddy told me to bring the bronco there to get a good alignment with the new mud tires lol.

Cool, though its right down 537 that'll be a little out of the way...ill let my father know though, he lives in Howell.
