Please let me know if you have had any good experiences!!

I have been taking mine into firestone in smokey point since I've had it. I got the lifetime (of the vehicle) alignment for I think $180ish and I have it done 2 times a year when I swap tires for winter/summer

Do they let you tell them what parameters you want for camber/toe? I don't just want to make sure I'm within factory specs, which most shops will only let you do..

That's probably a no. For large companies there's too much liability, and generally not enough employee knowledge, to allow customers to request their own specifications.

That's what I figured. I already looked into the Firestone in Totem Lake and they won't let me, so I was hoping that maybe another site would be more lenient.

Yeah Les Schwab was a no go in my area. I'd try asking in a local auto X/drifting group.

Searching for a shop capable and willing to press out oem bushings and weld in solid diff riser bushings, would also include notching/reinforcing subframe.

Thank you! I was about to just start calling around and see who would help, but Chase Race actually looks like a pretty good option!

I would email chase (Doug) as he's hard to reach by phone some times. He's pretty busy right now but will def respond to email

Not really a forum person. But I'm interested in finding a shop that can tune a Jackson racing supercharger on my car. I have headers installed. I wanted to get the tune it yourself kit and take it somewhere. Who is best for that in the area? I'm a helicopter mechanic and I think I have the charger install covered. But when it comes to the computer shit I don't have any support. Would I need to trailer my car to said shop? I live in Salem and there just seems to be shops in Portland or Eugene. Which is best for my setup?

Bob at drift office is a great option, I had him tune my NA brz.
I had the chance to walk around and talk with the owner of PSI in Hillsboro a couple years ago as well, those guys would be a great option that is much closer. Very impressive facility, dyno booth you can watch trim the lobby as well.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to hit him up. Appreciate the help guys!
