Default Attention NY GS owners in need of an alignment

All,
Best Tire and Wheel located on Northen Blvd in Great Neck, NY has all the tools need to get the GS straight as an arrow. I've been to 3 shops which none could get my car to ride rite and 5 shops which wouldn't even attempt to try. I have 20n staggard setup with a 1.5in drop and finally the car rides as it should. these guys are amazing they can align wheels up 27in with no problem...give them a try and of course the alignemnt is guranteed

They are expensive as they are a shop that specializes in customized cars. I inquired about an alignment on my lowered SC300, they told me they could do it, but for $120. Instead I hit up GSoup's suggestion of 106th street tire in Flushing (on Northern Blvd and 106th street). They did a laser alignment on my car for $45 and 20 minutes. FANTASTIC job too, car goes straight as it should and I no longer have to hold the wheel 20 degrees to the left to get it to go straight lol

edit: Lloyd Banks has his cars customized at BEst Tire and Wheel He has a house in Huntington for those that didn't know. I've seen his blue Bentley GT sitting outside that shop before.

The job cost me $119..the car was on the rack a little over a hour and the tech re-balanced all my wheels as a bonus.....the other guy wanted to charge me $89 with no gurantee the car would be straight....to me it was money well spent.......

P.S. $45 for a 4 wheel alignment sounds to good to be true....

I kid you not, ask Soup or Tony (nyAristo)

You'd be surprised at how inflated prices are for some things out on Long Island's Nassau or Suffolk vs. Queens or BK

I doubt its lifetime...LMAO

I had it done one time before and it was off a little bit (Ok I was being real **** about it) i took it back and they were real cool about it. They redid it for free.

It was like a week later by the way.

106th street tire does not do wheel alignments 24 hours anymore... i just got back from there since i just replaced my ball joints and outer tie rods today but there was no one there to do the alignment.

just wanted to let anyone who might be going late for an alignment know.
