I always go to Auto Innovation for alignment and tires or Speed Element for tires, now relocated in San Jose. Orlando & Steve provides great service when I need stuff done. And Devin at SE takes care of my tire mounting needs - From what I heard, Speed Element should be getting an alignment machine soon..

Since the rear camber of the 3GS isn't exactly really adjustable, Orlando did his best to make sure when the car was on the rack it would be within specs. It was a bit tricky, but he got it done. Can't wait to get the Cusco rear camber kit when I put on the Air Runners.

I have friends that go to Motorsport Techniques in Hayward also for above services with great results, everything from a super slammed 2IS to 370z.. they got it done in a timely matter. These would be my two recommendations for alignment shops.

ok, you guys got slammed or lowered. But mine is just a dumb 07 RX350 AWD all oem spec.
Which alignment shop to go for 4 wheel alignment, probably best value ones near fremont, SJ or palo alto?

Many thanks.

most of us go to firestone in elkgrove or roseville. both have lowered friendly alignment. plus they have lifetime alignment for $180.

but the bad is I just came from the eg one yesterday and they didnt want to mess with my "custom" camber lol so they only adjusted my toe. wasnt like that before, so im hoping it was just the manager that day. but im going to try the roseville location next, and see what happens.

but if your just trying to get a normal alignment, they'll do it and you cant beat that deal.

Highly recommend AutoRND in fremont, right off 880. Rishie and the guys their will take care of you with their hunter alignment machine and low friendly ramp onto the machine. They do quality work to the spec you want.

Default South Bay Alignment

Custom Alignment in Mt. View will do awesome (and priced accordingly) work. I have access to a Hunter alignment rack, but I may have them set my new IS for Auto-X so that I have the dialed-in settings to copy for future use.

You can find them on the web, or call them and get a quote.

Yes.
Talk to Joe or Carlos and tell em you were referred by CL. They will take care of you.

Also talk to the tech Peter about your set up, He's done tons of slammed Lexi

Just had an alignment done on my 1IS at Tire Outlet (Alum Rock) in SJ. Met both Joe and Carlos who were easy to deal with and very hospitable . Their work was simply superb and Joe definitely knows his craft. Even though I live in SF, I will always come back to their shop for an alignment-well worth the trip.
