    Alignment shop recommendations

    Looking for an alignment shop in the metro west or eastern mass area. I went to a shop in medfield this morning got my sticker, but they said the alignment would be 2-4 hours at a shop rate of $187.50/hr. I declined. So I’m looking for someplace more reasonable. Thanks

    Jerry at EPE in Natick did my corner balance and alignment. Not cheap, but well worth it.

    What constitutes not cheap?

    Get one of these (or similar) and do it yourself. For the cost of one alignment you can have a lifetime of them for free! Remember, if you change your ride height for any reason, you will need a new alignment. If you hit a big pothole you may need a new alignment. If you want to fine tune the handling qualities to suit yourself, you can do it any time you want. If you can build the car you can certainly learn to use one of these. I have been very happy with the results of this model but there are others that work well too. You will also need to either purchase or make your own toe plates, very simple to use as well. Just my 2 cents worth.

    I don't recall exactly, but I think it was 6-800 or so with corner balancing. Don't quote me on that though.
