    Default Where to get alignment looked at?

    Hi guys,

    My dad's little Yaris is having alignment problems it seems. He just replaced tires on the car and noticed that some of them were heavily worn on one side, however he doesn't know if it was the front tire or the rear tire as he only noticed it when they were already off the rims.

    Anyways, he knows at some point he may have hit a huge pothole, and he thinks his alignment is thrown off, but he doesn't know if it's front or back.

    Is there any place where he can take the car to check both? I remember back in my modding days there were very few places that did both front and back alignments, so I want to make sure that wherever he goes they can fix the car. Don't want him to pay for a front alignment when it's the back that's messed. He is partially unemployed at the moment so not much money to be throwing around, so we want to make sure we pay for proper work, and not waste money.

    Any recommendations are welcome.

    Thank you.

    Good guys and great prices, only downside is their waiting room is a disaster with the dogs roaming around.

    I had an alignment done at speedoptions, was happy with the service. He did a great job of dealing with seized parts. Downside their waitign room is not bad, but it has cats soooo

    I've had good experiences at Country Tire for alignments.

    I went here based on reviews from this forum and they aligned my car with FWD specs vs AWD specs. First snow fall caused me to almost lose control. They realigned it for free but if I had lent my car out to someone who wouldn't know the characteristics it could have been fatal.

    I bring all my work to Integra Tire on Macleod. Been going there for the past 15 or so years because they've always been good with modified cars. A number of the Beyond OGs used to go to them all the time. I'm not sure if they still do.

    useful thread for me.

    I need to change out the front bushings on the CTS-V, and want someone to do it for me, and then do an alignment.
