Can anyone recommend a reputable alignment shop to check the alignment on my MCS? I suspect mine may be out of whack, and I don't really want to wait with that until August to get into Crowfoot...

Tirecraft on Macleod.

Thanks! So I see that there are two locations; one near Chinook, and another a bit north of there. Does it matter which one?

Either one is good. They are the same owner. The one further north used to be popular for lowered cars, as they have ramps so you can drive right on to the lift. I believe the one further north is closing soon, since they are tripling the rent.

Thumbs up for a good bunch of guys. Got me all sorted out.

They do a lot of work on many of the 'higher end' vehicles in the city. I have never been disappointed taking my vehicles there.

What was the issue, Vee? I need to have mine checked over and have the steering wheel centred again (when it was aligned after the lowering the wheel was left of centre by about 5mm - drives me nuts). And....I don't want to wait until August

I had a bit of an issue with a loose feeling upon turn-in. This happened shortly after I hit a 1/2" high straight lip that our wonderful city paving crews left on the road without smoothing it out or posting a warning sign...

They should be able to sort you right out. I just went to the mall while they worked.
