    Just put in new springs (thanks Sheen) and am in need of an alignment. Contacted Jeff the Alignment Guy and his next open spots don't fit my work schedule at all. Too bad because I heard Jeff is one of the best.

    Anyway...what are some of my other options for a trustworthy alignment?

    I thought the dealership wouldn't touch it if it's not the OEM suspension? And do they do alignments on Saturdays...or just oil changes? Basically I need a place that is open at night...or on weekends.

    Definitely Minnetonka...I've had my fair share of issues with BP

    I know there are Minnetonka employees on here...do you guys do alignments on saturdays?

    Service is not open on Saturdays. Sorry.

    We could align it, as long as your not looking for something really off the wall. Coilovers are fairly easy to do, as long as you have the height adjustment done already, and aren't looking for us to also adjust upper camber plates. <-- Fronts are easy, rears are not.

    all I'd be looking to do is 0 out the toe, and max out the front camber seeing as I don't have any adjustments in the rear.

    i've used ridgedale sears with great sucess. same goes for the st. louis park firestone

    (sears will do it to your specs, firestone sometimes will, sometimes won't - i've used both multiple times)

    Whatever you do NOT bring it to Brooklyn Center Sears. I brought in a flat tire to have them fix it and they took a HUGE gouge out of my rim. Took them months to replace it. All the manager ever did when I went in there was bitch about how much his employees sucked.

    I'll never let them touch my car again.

    If you let me drive it in to Lexus I should be able to get an employee alignment done. :)

    Metric Autoworks in Woodbury will do performance alignments.
    Never had them do an alignment on my car, but they do race prep a number of cars and do great work on other things I've had done.
    They're not open on weekends and tend to be booked a week out at least though.

    I trust one Tires Plus and it so happens they are in EP. you an bring in your desired specs (in writing) and they will dial you in...as long as it's not a crazy set-up.

    I go to them cause they are cheap and never had an issue with my specs.

    Search google for Tires Plus Coupons. They usually have coupons for 49 or 59 bucks!
