The entrance to the shop is not flat but it is doable. I did not scrape going in or out of the shop. I did not go in straight on though.
The techs were also careful to angle the car when they were taking it out for test drives.
So no more WW for you, rominl?

Anyone know of an equivalent to this place in Socal? I'd like to find a good alignment shop.

Teck or Tech or Tek = Technician
Maybe one of us up here can ask Custom Alignment who they would recommend in your part of the woods.
Hopefully someone (possibly myself) can find out for you and respond.

Glen: When is the IS3 scheduled for all 4 wheel balancing and aligement?
Henry: Like Neo said, they are very careful with their clients cars. The majority of their clients are Porsche owners setup for Track or Autocross. They dont screw around with customer's cars, they take pride in their work. My car is going back near the end of this month, setup an appointment on the 30th. That's a Friday. I will be there to do the front 2 tires and the corner balance.
Neo: see you Saturday at the SJ show.

kudos to Custom Alignment
I took my GS4 in a couple of years ago since I had a vibration issue. After the wheel balancing service it was smooth as silk. A year went by and had my wheels balanced by a Lexus dealer(it was convenient at the time). No more silk! Well, I bought some new tires a few months ago and I'm definitely going back to Custom Alignment. In fact I think I'll go for a whole suspension tuning service. They're pretty busy so you should always make an appt. way in advance.

Best Alignment Shop in Norcal...
I usually to go to Custom Alignment in Moutain View and probably will if I can find a better place. Since I've invested in all the Ikeya Arms I don't want some dumb kid working on my car forgetting to tighten bolts etc since I will be using the car for more than daily driving, ridin' dirty and hard parking... unfortunately I've had this happen to me.
You guys got any recommendations?
Thanks,
Jay
