Default Tire installer near San Jose?

My 997.1TT needs new shoes and an alignment as well. Any recommendations on a reputable shop that can do both in the San Jose or Sunnyvale area? I'd prefer to drop ship from online.

Thanks

I've used Auto Innovations in Milpitas for alignments and tire installs for many years and have always been pleased with their service and attention to detail.

SonicMS in San Jose is the only shop in the South Bay I trust with my BBS and HRE wheels for my GT3. They can also handle alignment.

Another option is Alekshop in Fremont for both tires and alignment.

Right on, I appreciate the recommendations all. I'm going to check out SonicMS since they're in Club Auto Sport and my father has 2 condos there so I know it well and it's close to me.

Let us know how it worked out for you. Also, if you didn't know already you can order from Tire Rack or where ever and have them ship the tires direct to Sonic, and you just bring your car vs sending tires to you and you'd have to bring the tires to them etc

Updated - I did the drop shipping to Sonic, super convenient. They did a good job with the install + exhaust swap, but forgot that I wanted an alignment so they didn't do one and booked up the alignment station so they couldn't get me in that same day. A little irked about that, but as far as the work that they did, they did a good job. I would use them again since they're so conveniently located.

Sorry to hear about them forgetting the alignment- glad to hear you are happy nevertheless with the tire install

Yup haha. Nice meeting you as well, my bro in law is dropping off his Carrera S at SM for some new tires as well (today I think), I told him to check your guys' new shop out.

Snagged a pic while I was there:
