Need advice on wheel alignment

NYCM3ryder · 03-21-2013, 09:50 AM

Anyone know where in NYC i can get my wheel alignment for my M3? I called around a few places and they said they dont have the special calibrating equipment. I dont know to much about this topic so your help is much appreciated. BTW dealer wanted $310 for a wheel alignment!!!

Not sure what special equipment the shop was referring to. As far as I know, any reputable place should be able to perform an alignment. M3 is just like any other car. My local tires plus has aligned my M3 many times with no issues.

No special equipment needed. Darin from Westend uses no equipment, just tools, some ruler, and his son.

Any shop except for any Tire kingdom or Tires plus, they have the equipment but seem to be careless when doing the work, at least that's what I've seen.
