I guess since I'm in the Automotive industry I've gone to many. Most have been great.

I use the following personally or recommend friends/customers depending on what they want done and what type of cars they are.

Alpha 1 Automotive in Burnaby
Drivehard in Richmond
Dynamic Performance in Richmond
Speed Syndicate in Coquitlam


All have done amazing work for me/friends/customers. Always above standard work. If I ever had small issues they were always willing to help me fix the issue.

are we still focused on alignment places that can handle an already too low car that wants to go lower?

Blitzkrieg is good for alignments, as they do plenty of race cars, so ground clearance isn't an issue. I have had experiences there alignment wise.
I've had good experience with DHP for unrelated things as well although haven't had my car aligned there.
I can't speak for Speed Syndicate as I have not had an alignment performed there, but to add on top of what westopher said about Blitzkrieg, they are great for alignments and any suspension work, but mainly on a performance level. I personally had my previous E36 M3 aligned and corner balanced there and they were awesome.

They prep all sorts of track cars and do a lot of race support so I personally cannot imagine they would be interested in the business of further slamming an already slammed vehicle.

Otherwise, Blitzkrieg is great shop, albeit very busy these days. I guess it's best to give them a call to find out or to pursue other shops in town.

A shop that can't even check such simple things is not a shop I want to go to.

This makes me question the credibility of all your past contributions to this forum.
People like you are what makes the internet a bad place.
You are worse then the trolls . People will read that and actually belive you

Doesnt seem like Z4 owner is your friend either.
