believe me when i tell u that some large chain shops (sears, firestone, etc.) won't take s2000s. They are "hard to align" apparently. I met an s2000 owner not on s2ki at a Firestone and they didn't want to touch the car. Guy apparently purchased the lifetime alignment from firestone in a different city and the one in sunnyvale didn't want to take it. I've only used Auto Innovations. Never had any issues with them from purchasing tires or alignment.

Can you post pics of the alignment print out? Have they tried cross rotating front tires it can also be a radial pull. I align my own car at work before track days or after some minor suspension tuning or installs and never have a problem or thought of it being difficult to align. Lol at shops that refuse to align s2ks

The Shop does do alignments. Joey and a couple other friends know them, so I dropped by one Sat morning for a small matter. The owner was a little stand-offish, due to a mix-up in scheduling by one of his guys that answered the phone a couple days before. He lightened up after I explained to him what happened, but it wasn't really cool how he acted in the beginning.

+1. The only place that was able to adjust everything on my NSX before... I called a bunch of places and they said what they can adjust, but when I arrived to get it done. I went thru 2 different alignment shops before going to AI. All they did was a toe and go!!! Auto Innovations, hands down is a place I would recommend..

The shop in San Rafael I've been using for a few years now said I'd have to remove my lip if I want an alignment there after I replace the stock springs, so I'm looking for other options.
