Question Best place for wheel alignment in Orlando?

I've been having my wheel alignment done at Tires Way, but they did a bang up job last time and my tires are wearing more unevenly than ever. 2 weeks ago I visited Toyota and they warned me that there was an extremely small chance that they might possibly scratch my lip, so I'm wondering where all your aftermarket wheel guys get your alignment done. I need it done ASAP. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Sears auto center in Oviedo. You have to get it done by Cris Wells though. This is where all the Floridadrfit guys get their cars aligned and if he can align their cars to their own specs, he'll get your car done right. Just tell him Peter sent you and he'll take care of you.

Thanks Detuned! I'm not exactly sure where that is though, is that by Tuskawilla or is there a Sears auto center attached to the mall?

I believe it's the Sears service center just behind the mall on the Northside! I'm curious to know the price and how well they do or don't do,because I need an alignment for new rubber myself! Post up after you get the work done and let us know?

I'll put it this way, Enjuku racing takes both of their drift cars to Cris, and a lot of the local drifters from Floridadrift.com swear by him.

Its behind the Oviedo mall across rom Sears. It all really depends on the car since there is a set price for each car set by sears.

Just tell him Peter sent you and he'll know who I am.

407-971-2600 and ask for the auto center and then ask for Cris Wells.

Hey Tek,somebody's got to do it! No seriously I normally use NIX and Black on Orange Blossom Trail! They have the old school machine that doesn't ruin your wheels! They are pricey though $130.00 for a 4 wheel alignment! They do good work also!

Hey, OBT huh? The service manager at Toyota recommended I go to a shop over on OBT, I'm guessing it's the same one. But $130? That's kinda steep.

We'll the shop is on North OBT just South of Amelia across from the Parliament House! I'm actually going there in the morning to get the alignment done since I haven't heard back from Tek!
I mounted the Nitto 555 on the GS! The budget didn't allow for Dunlops again!

Ya know Wringo, I might have to try NIX and Black since you and the manager at Toyota recommended it. Care to share his phone number and do you recommend setting an appointment with him? Thanks.

Nitto's are cool. I have owned 2 sets previously; they stick to the road nicely. Talk soon.

Thank's,Billy! I have them mounted on the wife's car as well and I seem to like them so far!
