Question Best Alignment?

Can anyone recommend a good place in GTA for a 993 alignment other than EU or Hunter? EU's rates are too high and Brent seems to have staffing issues.

Burlington tire. They just did my clients 89 928 that had a complete suspension rebuild so everything was off, $150

I had tried PCO but they were not able to honour an appointment that I had booked a month in advance. Abd they were going to charge $275 plus more since the suspension was all new. B.S.

Burlington Tire is now my go to shop for alignments. A couple p-cars in the shop when I was there.

Try pfaff tuning, I also brought my 05 Cayenne that has over 300k on it into the Pfaff dealer for it, it had never been done before and I was pleased with the dealer and surprised that the alignment was still good on it after so much time.

you have to decide if you want the best alignment or the cheapest,

In my last case on the 89 the cheapest was the best. LOL Last year I had my 87 done at PCO and all they did was adjust the toe and told me everything else (in red) was ok and that was $300.

Alignments are just like wheel balancing, totally dependent on the tech's willingness to go the extra mile and dial it in.

Nick and Mario at MVS Motors on Warden & 401. What Nick does on his alignment rack is PFM. Very reasonable with price.

The problem with some of the good small alignment shops is if there is an issue you really don't want them to be the ones to tear into your car.

I've used Stephenson's in Oshawa a few times and they did a great job even though I had to tell them the specs and show them how to change the alignment.

No way I want them replacing parts if they had a problem.

Every time I've been it there the guy tells me my tires are under inflated and I should have them as the spec on the sidewall.

Keltech performance is in Markham and is a UCR sponsor I believe. They specialize in older p-cars.

I use altech and agree Pat does a great job for a value price. I wonder sometimes if he tightens the bolts enough as the first pothole I eventually hit, my alignment is off. This isn't the car with another shop that I also use time to time
