Surprisingly no one has mentioned Motorsport Techniques in Hayward. They have been doing it for years. Jack is one of the best in the bay area for custom alignment. Jay give them a try but then again you're in San Jose. Tell them Mike from Automotivated sent you.

Noone mentions TECH3? its in san jose and did my alignment custom specs for $60. Let me stand there the whole time and look at the computer and tell him exactly how i want it. Even fine tuned my ride height for extra $40 AND another alignment for total of $100 that visit. So basically I got 2 alignments AND a fine tuned ride height to my specs for $100. Need I say more?

umm...maybe it's too much to ask but I think this thread would benefit if we posted the names and address of the place (if it wasn't already mentioned). Some of us would drive to get quality work.

Any lifetime alignment place that does good work in Sacramento? I'm thinking that I will need quite a few alignments if i'm going to put in parts often. The road here is also terrible.

Custom Alignment quoted me $240 for four wheel alignment. Is this about right? Seems pretty steep to me.

So is it still called G12? I searched on google and it's located on Kiessig...also, do they do corner balance? Looking for a shop to do corner balance in Sac.

The one that makes the tires stay flat on the pavement for the most amount of time in most common street situations.

Solo,

The shop is called G12. Back in my grandfather's racing days it was on G and 12th in Sacramento. Now it is on 16th and T. Kinda funny.

$170 is not bad. But when I called today, they quoted me $240 to align all four tires. This doesn't sound right. I just asked for alignment only, not even balancing.
