Default new to the state? need an alignment? then click!

what’s up wynn and all.....just went through some alignment stress and though that my words might be able to help someone in or out of my shoes.

ok im going to speak my mind about this. It sucks to move to a new city and have no clue where
to get your car aligned by someone who will not only set custom numbers and take care of your car, but also someone who will ask you about your driving style (daily highway?, daily city?, track days ect?) then tells you what his ideas are if any before breaking any nuts loose.

so a set of tires later i finally found someone who can do an alignment and have me at rest with the car being out of my sight.

you may be thinking if they have the 2011 hunters rack bla bla bla and they get your car on without scraping what’s the big deal?? the big deal is by changing ride height and spring rate, front and rear toe(most important), camber and caster adjustments will now half to be changed from there dummy proof stock s2000 bar graph they use to set your lowered car to stock settings......im just saying for me it’s not the place, price, or equipment its the mechanic.

Here is all the info ( also if you got some crazy setting or adjustable ball joints talk to Vinnie out side when hes going to get your car. not in front of the people behind the counter in polo’s)


-Gateway tire@800 dickerson pike, nashville, tn, 37207
-615) 224-8338‎
- ask for Vinnie. Was very friendly. Covered my brides ,angled everything perfectly, and treated it like it was his. he had me in cr camber and custom caster and toe specs in about forty five he also protected the lip of my wheels with tape so i wouldn’t have any pressure marks from the target clamps.
- price 60$ out the door and one happy camper

if your thinking that this is already on this forum your right..... i just posted this because i hate when someone says some shop or part is great and forgets to give some specific details about it. Just my $.02 welll i hope this will help someone in need of the next day alighnment like i did!


cheers guys!
