There isn’t anything wrong with an L&S, maybe a few of software issues in the past. The new products are just about as good as any. Sure “I voted for SuperFlow”, but L&S has gotten alot better over the last few years.
As for prices: That ain’t me but it looks like you’re all set, so why complain?

saaboost/fasttwins, PM me a price on a 4 wheel alignment and if I like what I hear from other members on here you’ll have my business :thumb
Good luck with everything, a successful business like this would be a REALLY cool thing to have in the area

For everyone…
Is this for a street car or a race car?
A normal street car, is $99.95 for a four wheel alignment setting toe to your specs or the reccommended specs complete with print outs of before and after.
If its a race car type of set up where you want to add or adjust caster or camber plus set toe we can do that for $125 as long as nothing is frozen and no work is neded to free things up for the adjustment. Of course any shims or anything needed to make it what it needs to be is extra.
I hope this helps
OR
you could do a DIY alignment which would cost you $65 per hour for the bay w/ lift. $25 for the 1/2 hour rent a tech to set the machine up and you can adjust the front specs to your desire yourself.
I wouldn’t reccommend you choose this unless you have the tools and knowledge of what you want to do and how. My guess is it would take to much time causing the rental rate to exceed the posted charge if we did it… JMO…I don’t know what you know.
Call my cell if you need to

$100 for a 4-wheel alignment, if done properly, is a great price.

**Albany Speed Shop is Now ramping up operations!**
We are slowly moving forward as everything is now coming together.
We have done several scaling and racing alignments services.
A Tuner Car Bar meet is in the works and I have a plan to make sure it seems like business and not a free for all, although thats what we are looking for.
A grand opening celebration is also planned… stay tuned or stop in and visit with us.
Keep an eye on our website [www.albanyspeedshop.com](http://www.albanyspeedshop.com)
Thanks all,
Darryl

Wayne,
Thank you. That car has some potencial! We set it up, rideheights and such and then dialed in the alignment perfectly. Russell was happy and really smiling after his test drive!

dkid15…aka Bob
Did everything go well? I checked the boys when you left and the car came out good. Remember we need uppoer cam bolts to get the camber you wanted and once you run the car this weekend, let do a scaling service and set ride heights better and redo the alignment to dial that car in…
Nice ride and thanks for coming in for that service.

Oh yeah alignment is phenomenal! I couldn’t give these guys enough credit for the work they did. The car has so much grip and the turn in is so sharp its amazing. I Can’t wait to put on my caster plates and see what this setup can do with 6 deg. of caster. I will definitely be going back for corner balancing one i get a final weight dialed in.
Good Work from the guys at Albany Speed Shop!
