shop recommendation for alignment -MA/CT

I'm looking for a shop to do a suspension alignment. I'm in W. Mass.

Btw, I reached out to Speed Sport Tuning, who will do it for $420. Is that a little pricey for a standard alignment?

I'm too far from to be much help but will tell you that 911 alignments can be quick-or slow. A lot depends on what's happened to the car over time so I charge by the hour for em. Flat rate just doesn't work fairly.

How deep do you want to go? Corner balance, too?

For a basic but accurate toe and camber, front and rear, try Steve’s Alignment in Springfield. (413) 732-9648.

For a serious job with corner balance and dialed-in to your driving style, Auto Associates in Canton CT (860) 693-0278.

Best of luck, John

I've heard great things about Bill Pfister and I live locally to him, but I brought my 911 up to FasTrack automotive in Peabody. Scott (owner) has been treating me right since I was bringing him $1k cars back in the day, and he does a phenomenal job with alignment and corner balancing.

The classic thread: we’re asked, we respond accordingly, then we hear nothing.

One day I’ll learn!

Another recommendation for Auto Associates in Canton, CT. They did a great job with my wife’s ‘69 corner balance.
