I don't know of any good independents in Columbus. You might try the dealer, Byers (614 864-5180).

In Dayton there is a good shop called Foreign Exchange run by Rick Reilich (937 298-3456).

I live in Centerville by Bigger and Alex Bell. Dale actually has my 993 right now for an alignment. Just trying to get it ready for Mid Ohio next week.

I probably cut right by your house going to Dales. Are you going to the PCA wine tasting at Dales tomorrow? Shoot me an email.

Can euroclassix do the kinetic toe adjustment, and do they also have scales to corner balance? If you don't mind, could you PM me the approximate price for the alignment you are getting. I'm looking for a closer alternative to the shop who did mine previously since it was a long trip.

Also, is this the same Dale who used to work at Foreign Exchange years ago?

Thanks!
Brett

This is the same Dale. He said he can do the kinetic toe. We will see today. I didnt do the corner weight since I am going to have to redo the alignment when I do the clutch in a few weeks. I just wanted a quick alignment so the car is decent on the track. Im not even taking track tires so Im not that worried if it isnt perfect. Dale is a good friend of mine so I dont think the price will reflect the normal price but I will see. Brett, Where do you live?

Thanks, good to know. I live in Columbus, but I grew up in Centerville. I worked at Foreign Exchange for a short while many years ago when Dale also worked there (doubt he would remember me though). Many of the cars on his webpage such as the RSK, 910, and the Jag XK120's (belonging to Mr, Grant I believe) are very familiar from when I was there, so I figured it was the same Dale. Is Kelly Williams still around as well?

Yep, most of the cars are Ricks. Kelly is still Dales top mechanic. He is awesome!
