Default Alignment shop needed (C4S - Northern NJ - time sensitive)

Hey Guys,

Was hoping for some pointers as I got my C4S back from PSS10 install and wanted to get an alignment swiftly so I can make the trek to H2O (Ocean City MD) this coming Thursday. I didn't want the shop that did the install to do the alignment as I know these cars can be tricky and are best left to specialist hands.

Any recommendations for a trusty shop in Northern NJ (ideally) that would take me on short notice and get the car ready by Thu?

TIA!

I recommend Eurotire on route 46 in Fairfield for a quick and good 993 alignment. They do plenty of Porsches and understand the KT. Figure on ~$300.

A second option is Protosport in Wayne. They are more of a race/tuning shop. I haven't used this services but I believe they are substantially more expensive (3x).

Good luck.

Thanks a lot, Mike! I will call Eurotire first thing, hopefully they can take me by EOD Thurday.

Was originally planning to take her to Dawe's Motorsports in PA (anyone service their 993 there?) as she generally is stored nearby, but will not have the time to do that if I want her ready for H20

Dawe's alignment work is top notch as well. Probably tough to get appointment

I recall Peter telling me they even get the strings out to get it right Yeah, Dawe's would have been my top choice but would rather have her aligned before a 600 mile round trip drive!

You might try Stable Energies/EuroPerf in Garfield, NJ.

Protosport did my last one. now that racing season has slowed down, they are likely pretty easy to get an appointment. I paid $300 for an alignment as I recall it, but its been a few years.

The guys at powertech in rockaway seem to be pretty good also.

I highly recommend Powertech in Rockaway NJ.
Highly skilled Porsche shop. They did a lot of work on my previous 993, a 95 C4, including a
top notch alignment.

Alot of great choices in our area. Heinlein, Precision, Powertech, Protosport, Deman, etc. ...

How would you rate Deman in all those listed?

Deman does my alignment ... perfect balance- I drive to track- no trailer.
