Where to take car to get Camber done
In about 3 weeks im gonna install camber kits on the front wheels. After i get this done, can i just take the car to like Good Year or Tire kingdom? Should they be able to work with an adjustable camber? Or would they not know what the heck to do?
then you don't want them aligning your car anyway....i was an alignment tech and i'll tell you firsthand, good ones are hard to find.....most don't go through the necessary training....and the others don't care, because it can become boring easily......we had 4 shops in our vicinity that did alignments....we were the only ones i'd ever have taken my car to, because the others were just ridiculously underqualified....learn what questions to ask, and by doing that, you'll know whether or not they're competent
funny part is, i knew what to do but they wouldn't let me adjust the camber with the car on their lift because of liability, this is after i spent 20 minutes making a ramp out of scrap boards laying around just to get the car up on their lift and then helping the guy adjust my toe, which he did wrong and refused to do what i suggested. i'm calling around from now on and will pay the extra $$ just to get someone that will do what i ask...or let me use their machine and do it myself. the damn thing tells you what to do step by step...it's not rocket science.

yea, i agree with you, some shops are just rip offs
always watch your car when it's being worked on
and yea, i believe our stock 4th gens toe in/out is the only thing adjustable, right?
