  • best place for Wheel Alignment

    Just wondering if there is one place better then another to get Wheel Alignment's done in calgary.

    My MKV GTI is taking a beating on these lovely roads, and with coils, lowered it does not make matters any better.

                1 hour labour = $105.. If your a member you can shave 10% off of that.

                  Yes and no. depends on if your camber needs adjusting. You adjust your camber by shifting the subframe and the subframe bolts are torque to yeild so you will have to replace them. I have done alignments without replacing the bolts. No problem.

                          The Dealer does if you have to replace them.. Sometimes I can get away with just adjusting the toe and not bother with the camber.

                          See ya Monday Freddy!! MMUUUWWHAAAA!
