Shop recommendation for corner balance and alignment - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Back in socal I used to take my cars to west end alignment for all my corner balancing and alignment needs. Any good recommendations in the bay area?

Elite Performance in Burlingame is one of the go-to shops in the area for alignments and that sort of work. I don't know if they can do corner balancing because I've never had a need for that but I'm sure a dozen or so other people will be along shortly to recommend them if so.

Roger Krause in Castro Valley can do it.

Peninsula - Custom Alignment in Mountain View
expensive but quality if you're in the area it's convenient

South Bay - Auto Innovations is great for alignment in Milpitas, good price, quick to do the job, not sure if they corner balance though.

I think The Racer's Line is getting an alignment rack so if you're up in the East Bay they're a great option too.

There's probably another 4-5 shops to be mentioned (and I have heard nothing but good things about the above shops), pick what's close and works with your schedule.

I have had good experience with Auto Innovations in Milpitas. Also gave me a good deal on tires. Not sure about the corner balance because I've never had the need.

Auto innovations in Milpitas got me hooked up

Elite Performance will be able to handle all of your needs. Great folks there and a lot of the track guys go get work done.

Not getting one unfortunately. New shop is right next to an alignment shop though. However Neal did get a Dynojet :P

Dang, mistook one fancy machine for another, however that does mean another cool shop is available for baseline runs that I've been meaning to do...

Thanks for the all the recommendations. I'll check em out.

Come to The Driveway for custom alignment and tires! We don't currently offer corner balancing but it's on our todo list for shop expansion as time goes on. =)

Ask Gary at Mann Engineering in Santa Clara for alignment and corner balancing.

Mann Engineering or Trackspec Autosports for professional, proper race shops.
