Good Alignment Shop in St Paul MN?

rwest · rwest's Garage

Hello,

I'm in the middle of a pretty extensive suspension re-furb, and will be needing to get all the wheels pointing in the right direction! Can anyone recommend a good shop to get everything aligned?

My car is a 1977s Targa that won't be raced. I just want to get a reasonable right height and everything set properly.

Thanks, Rutager

Yep, www.Thealignmentguy.com. His name is Jeff and he runs his own shop in Bloomington near the REI. He does good work and his rates are reasonable..just ask most of the local autox crowd. Fwiw, he does own a nice older 911 to boot.

Also, Courtney's Truck Service. Auto Repair / Truck Repair - Eden Prairie, MN - Courtney Truck Service

They do a lot of work on 911s including racers. I just had my 82 aligned and corner balanced and it now drives great. Many of the Nord Stern guys go there. When I had mine done there was a nice 80 s Carrera there along with a 928 and a newer GT3. Great work

Good luck.

I had PPI and alignment done by Aaron Hatz of Flat6 in Bloomington. Great guy.

Would that be Rutager West of cycling fame?

Auto Edge does an excellent job as well.

They are North of St. Paul in Mahtomedi.

Hello,

Lots of cycling, very little fame!

So, whom do I have the honor of knowing, but not knowing their excellent taste in automobiles?

I have ridden and driven past Auto Edge years ago, and knew, but forgot that a lot of Porsche guys get work done there.

Thanks, Rutager

Auto Edge or FlatSix. They both know Porsches inside out and have done excellent work on my 930 for many, many years.

Next time you see Lunde ask him and he will clue you in. We don't know each other but your name rang a bell...I was in the mix and did a lot of time on the 'drome until '98 and packed it in. Miss the racing, don't miss the training...

I also highly recommend Aaron Hatz at FlatSix (he's the owner).
