Re: wheel alignment in NJ

[jtrealty@xxxx]

In northern NJ I can recommend a shop in North Bergan. It is on 
Kennady Boulavard at about 54 st. It is called K+C Brake service. They 
have a modern computerized 4 wheel alignment rack and people that know 
how to use it. They did my car and have the specs programmed in. 
Alternatively try to find a place that does cars for the towns and 
large collision shops, they are generally well known to the local 
shops. You want to see a modern machine with people that can use it. 
Although a modern machine isn't really needed it indicates a shop that 
has a large customer base and are willing to spend on good equipment. 
Shops with older equipment don't have the throughput to justify the 
enormous investment required and the training to use it. This is a 
specialty area and you want to find a shop that does alignments all 
day long not just occasionaly. IMHO chains like Sears while they may 
have the newest equipment don't always have the mechanics that know 
how to use it. When you go to the shop bring a copy of the alignment 
procedures so they can use it for reference. Before you go make sure 
the car is not unusually loaded, has about 1/2 tank of gas, the tires 
are properly inflated and are not worn out. Replace any worn or bent 
parts or they cannot do an alignment correctly. Be prepared to spend 
between $75 to $150 depending on labor rates and the time required to 
check everything. It would also be a good idea to bring a new set of 
trailing arm bolts and extra shims for the shop just in case you need 
it.
