Try allpro subaru. Brandon is a nice guy and knows his stuff. Iirc they charge $70 for alignments.

Or this. although you may need to schedule in advance with them

+1 for Gran Turismo East. They're pretty awesome! Haven't heard anything bad about Allpro subaru or Top Speed Motorsports either.

TopSpeed doesn't have an alignment rack AllPro can do it as well.

I've seen a lot of great recommendations for shops around town (allpro, grand turismo east and topspeed motorsports) but I'm wondering if anyone could recommend a shop where I can bring in some aftermarket parts and they will install them for a reasonable price.

I ordered some tein s-techs and came to realize the installation is gonna be waaaaay over my head to do myself.

I asked a shop that just did my exhaust and they quoted like $400 for the install.

I'm local to the marietta area but am willing to drive for a good price/shop that will do a good job.

Thanks for advance for any response.

Top speed installed my turbo and did a decent job. GTR's seem to be their primary focus though. Where is gran turismo east?

Well, I was impatient and settled for NTB before looking at the suggestions on here. I'd suggest nobody go to them! Especially when they let a NEW GIRL mount and balance your wheels. They'll end up looking like this...this is just one of my rear wheels...there are 14 marks on this wheel because she had no clue what she was doing and didn't event ask for help. She was throwing the flat bar on the ground getting frustrated...that made me real nervous! Turns out I had good reason to be :/

Yeah I was in a hurry and had NTB on Hwy 9 mount my A6s on my race rims and they chewed the hell out of them with the clamps. Hoosiers are notoriously hard to mount because of the stiff sidewalls and it was 245s going on a 7" rim, so I cut them a little slack but ended up getting half off.

We were going over the whole "chewed up wheel" thing. It is standard to have plastic where the machine touches the wheel. If your wheel gets bitten, chances are that particular store may not be operating to company standards.

By far Allpro gave the best quote to install aftermarket springs and do an alignment. They quoted $270 with an alignment. I won't say what the others quoted but it was much...much higher

Took the car to All Pro this morning to get my exhaust swapped out... as always, they did an awesome job taking care of me and getting me in and out quick. Here's the "new" exhaust



It's the Nameless Performance "track" pipe. My nameless muffler developed a small hole and they're going to fix that for me under warranty. They also are amazing!
