But i now have the distinction for the ONLY car suburban has not been able to get onto their alignment rack. They were pretty cool about it, and are going to go buy some 2x12’s so i can get my car on there next week. APPARENTLY (i didnt see this to confirm it) my oil pan is down too low for the aligntment jacks to slide under it… I really have no idea how that can happen since the oil pan is tucked up inside the lower engine bracing and i NEVER scrape it on anything, nor is it hanging down from what i can see by laying on the ground… but i dont see why they would lie to me… ---

Suburban def sucks… I had an appointment with them for a week, give them the car for the entire afternoon and they call me at 4:45 and say that they can’t do it because my wheels have no lip… I tell them I can bring another set of wheels, they say too bad because its friday and nobody will stay after 5pm. Big waste of my time, I ended up taking the car to Gaulins in Williamsville and they took care of me quickly, proffessionally, and for a decent price. ---

yeah that’s why I take my car to Craig Autometrics (granted, Roc, no good for you) - they have a flush / in-ground one that you just drive on and then it lifts the car 🙂 ---

eh could be worse. I took my car to sears auto behind the mall to get an alignment becuase it was the only place open by the time I got out of work. They did my alignment and it still pulled really bad so I took it bad. They “corrected” it THEN decided to mention that I had a bad ball joint. :wtf: ---

> [@Minglor](#): > > Any places that you guys would recommend? Well, Rick used to whore Suburban on this site. They were presented as god’s gift, so a lot of members used to recommend them at first. Maybe ownership changed or something, but the quality of their service hasn’t been stellar, as I know a handful of members that have had negative experiences with them. ---
