I have a guy in Lackawanna on South Park that aligns all my all wheel drive cars for $50 cash. Guarino’s is the shops name. ---

> [@nitroinsane](#): > > It’s not the tools.it’s that in order to properly Align most bmws and Mercedes you need a full tank of gas and x amount of weight in certain seats. However if you have specific measurements you want the vehicle aligned to it does not matter. on my first e36 I was given the bags line by a few places. asked my buddy, (now business partner) a master tech at bmw. he said, “nah.” ---

I will do a full 4 wheel alignment on anyone’s car lowered or not for much lower price than any shop will charge. And I can print out specifications also so you know it’s Done right. Pm me if interested ---

Id also like to point out there is a sign here that says “any car with custom suspension setups that takes more than 1hr projected for regular alignments will be charged shoprate after” So idk why everyone complains about price. Unfortunately I had to raise my car though lol Sent from my LG-E739 using Tapatalk 2 edit: Just got done. Took about an hour. Paid 97$, all creaking is gone, car handles great and rides smooth. This was for a 4wheel alignment on a car that i just installed coilovers on and it was previously all screwed up not even near factory spec. ---

I just had my Evo X done there this morning to custom specs and the sheet was EXACTLY what I asked Russ for, to a T. Russ is a stand up guy and I will contine to always go there. Perhaps you came off wrong to him? I have nothing but great experiences with Licatas. ---

so two week update. i had some beat up tires on the rear of my car which is why i had assumed it was somewhat tail happy after this alignment and not to mention i have rarely been using anything but my motorcycles for a mode of transportation ANYWAY i threw new tires on the rear this past weekend and the next morning i was driving to work in that crazy downpour and i noticed the car was even worse. felt like it was going to spin if i let go of the wheel and hit a bump. well i went back to get the spec sheet for the alignment after chatting with MPD and just as suspected they put .10 of toe out in the rear and thats exactly whats causing the problem. so i just called sweeneys to set up an appointment in order to get it adjusted and in not so many words the owner decides that its too much of a headache and he is going to just refund my credit card the price of the alignment and wash his hands of the situation… BACK TO SQUARE ONE…fml ---
