How much did it cost you? Im debating when I do get coils if I should install it myself, or have it done with the alignment.

i've been to a few actually. My observation is that generally dealers are quite clean, and they put a paper mat on your floor to keep footprints off. There are other boutique shops i've seen that has spilled oil but they wipe it up immediately. When you have oil on the shop floor it's not only a cleanliness issue, it's also a safety issue.
KSL is good at the service, but it was just little puddles of oil on the shop floor that i had to try really hard to avoid.

Hence why most shops post up a sign saying "Due to insurance regulations, employees only beyond this point", so your non-oil resistant work boot wearing ass won't end up on the shop floor. But I guess if you want to pay the dealership premium for the little white piece of paper on your floor mat, that's up to you.

That's the typical mentality I find with a lot of shops in Canada for all kinds of businesses where everything's half arsed and it's to be expected lol!

Such low expectations with the masses, sometimes I wonder how Canada can even be remotely competitive with the rest of the world like Europe or South East Asia. Sad really.

Automatrix. They have worked on all our crew's cars including crazy camber set ups, twin turbo installs, etc. I do not trust anyone else with my car but them. They invested a shitload of money into a brand new, amazing alignment machine, so you can get all your suspension work, tires/wheels and alignment done there. You can even stand in the back with them while they do it and talk through anything you need. HIGHLY recommended (and crazy good prices). Located at Lawerence and Keele just off the 401

Just intelligent enough to be in one of the highest paid professions and perhaps just slightly more intelligent than someone with a potato as an avatar. In all your posts on the forum, you sound very naive, so I'll just stop replying to you right here.
