| Places for alignment
Just curious is there any place with a really low alignment rack in the lower mainland?
The shop I use does a great job, but I get charged extra to get the car up onto it because it's slammed and it's a bit sketchy because it literally clears by millimeters and I plan on going a bit lower

Try Dynamic Performance on Bridgeport in Richmond. Not sure their alignment machine specs but they are great to deal with. They handle performance cars all the time.

The very last shop I'd recommend is drivehard...
Two of my friend's went there (4dr R32, Z4), both came out with hand tight rear control arm bolts, and one of them was missing a nut, just a bolt jammed in, probably because the nut fell out from being hand tight.
A shop that can't even check such simple things is not a shop I want to go to.

Not sure what happened but there are always two sides to every story, i checked back the history since 2012, 2013 2014 we do not have any R32 4dr that ever came in. If you any specific concerns please send me a msg and I will try to get to the bottom of it
Thank you

It's none of my own concern, you should probably find them to see what happened, maybe your tech isn't telling you everything?

I went to TSS. I think a requested alignment spec was a little over $100.

TSS is good at everything. I'd recommend them for anything, although I've never been aligned there for the reason that the last alignment I got they hadn't got there rack yet.
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.

Speed Syndicate is where I got mine done as well.
I think the average cost for alignments at most places is about $90-100.

I have asked all the staff in the shop and no one has seen that R32 4dr, nor do we have any service history on it. Did it change color in the past couple years?

I've been to TSS in the past and was treated exceptionally well and didn't have to worry about them trying to scam me because I'm a girl.
They're a long time friend of RS, and with being a sponsor someone I try to support :thumsbup:
If you're closer to Richmond, check out our other sponsor Drive Hard as recommended before  You supporting our sponsors in turns supports RS

TSS!
They did the alignment on my Toyota sienna, after they install my coilovers.
The following week book for alignment and I was not satisfied because van was
Pulling to the right, book again for appointment to fix the next
Week and did not charge me again!
Good customer service and warranty!

Took my Holden to Drivehard twice for alignment because I just wanted to make sure the second time after all the new suspension bits had time to settle.
That Hunter is a lovely piece of gear and the DHP guys knew their stuff. Would recommend.

+ 1 DHP
been dealing with DHP for ten years with all my cars, no problem whatsoever. Great alignment machine and touch-less mounting and balancing  | |

+1 for DHP.
They got stuck with trying to figure out why my Civic was pulling to one side.
Made a big improvement, but even when I noticed the car still had a bit of a pull, they didn't hesitate to troubleshoot, and even sent one of their techs out with me to see the pulling firsthand.
It's very clear they know their stuff, and will be going back for any alignments in the future.
Sounds like DHP or TSS are the front runners. Don't think you can go wrong with either.
