Default Need an alignment shop in NoVA

NELOCers,

The GS is getting her front SP Sport 01s put on this Thursday and I am looking for a good alignment shop that won't scratch the hell out of my wheels.

Can anyone recommend a good shop from FIRST-HAND experience ?

The usual suspects for decent alignments are:
• Curry's: Ashburn
• MachV: Ashburn
• Virginia Spring and Alignment: Falls Church
• PTuning: Manassas
• Performance Buyer's Club: Manassas

I would go with PTuning, I haven't had an issue with them yet. They are the only shop that didn't have a problem with the height of my car with the kit and all. Very clean shop and the team there were professional.

Ptuning is the best, most other shops around the area will mess up your stuff cause they mostly don't know what they are really doing.

I just asked in the NELOC subforum if there's any good alignment shop in MD since that's where I live. If there's nothing, I'll head to PTuning.

Depends on where you are. I work minutes from the place

Plus I just bought a new house in Woodbridge (aka first time home buyers heaven) so I'll be a lot closer. I plan on using PTuning when I get new tires this spring for my DH Work Eurolines.

First time for me. I found a good deal on a single family 4bdr, 3bth with garage. The driveway and garage fit SIX cars! I think that will be enough lol. My mortgage is cheaper then my 1 bedroom apartment rent. The neighborhood seems nice and quiet not like those overcrowded street parking roads in Marumsco village. It's closer to Potomac Mills/Ikea. As you can see, I'm pretty excited! I'll have a move in party and welcome NELOC friends in a few months.
