ive been to 2 places in richmond
some what low car friendly - but the machines were not calibrated so my alignment was really off
ever since - i only go to The Speed Syndicate since they are super low car friendly (my car is only 10cm from the floor) - and they calibrate their machines
i highly recommend The Speed Syndicate

Genuinely curious, but based on what kchan said, what kind of alignment racks actually need to be calibrated and continuously recalibrated? It is to my understanding that all of the Hunter Hawkeye Elites which some shops use and most dealerships use do not need any calibration as per Hunter's claims. I've had alignment done on old school racks and Elites but generally I always get the same results?

Speed Syndicate
Had an alignment done at DHP around two years ago and the the alignment itself was fine, but whatever they put on my wheels to do the alignment left marks on them. Did not have that problem at Speed Syndicate.

Only ever been to TSS and National Tire in Burnaby. The latter is a much more affordable choice.
