Alignment in GTA - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi everyone

Can anyone please recommend a good shop in North York or Markham to do an alignment for a lowered BRZ? Thanks in advance.

@FT86Z I don't know about Markham/NY but APEX Motoring in Mississauga (right off 401/Dixie) was great to deal with for me. My 86 is slightly lowered on TRD springs for reference.

Another Apex Automotive (same name, different shop?) on Heritage drive, near McCowan and Hwy7. Super affordable

Easiest way to get an answer on price would be to email them.. I'd assume they would give you a quote based on what you need.

Far for you man, but NV Auto in Hamilton does my alignment. They're really good

Markham = Speedstar. I've used them many times for my S2k. Top notch service.

I think it was 110 in total. I guess they're good? I have no idea, that was my first ever alignment. No complaints

booked an alignment at Apex Motoring Inc, He sounds very knowledgeable. Asked me what kind of adjustment I have.

I can say that not too many shops even go into that much detail about your car.

I will leave a feedback on Monday, which is when my appointment will be.

NextMod-APH on Woodbine Avenue across from the Mandarin.

It also comes down to how well/often the machine is calibrated. The string method is probably the most accurate, but limited to race shops.

How did it go and how much did they charge?

Genuine question: string method more accurate than laser alignment?

Both Speedstar and Dave's Garage use laser alignment. Speedstar runs a Porsche GT3 racing team and Dave's runs three time attack cars.

String method is just a quick and easy way of on the fly alignments. Not everyone can lug a laser alignment machine from track to track.

I'd question the statement claiming it's more accurate.
