alignment shops in south SJ
When i had my STi i would usually go to autoinnovations because they were pretty cheap, but they're in milpitas. Im mostly looking for track/autox experienced alignment shops.

I think you're gonna have to travel further than SJ for track/autox experienced alignment shops, I'm not aware of any good ones in SJ.
General alignment: Tire Outlet on Alum Rock (SJ) Track/Autox alignments: Edge Motorworks (Mountain View) Auto Innovations (Milpitas) AutoRND (Fremont) Motorsport Techniques (Hayward) Roger Krause Racing (Castro Valley)

As long as you know what alignment setting you want, you really don't need to go to a specialized alignment shop.
Hit up http://www.blacktrax.net/ if you don't mind driving to Milpitas. They definitely have the know-how. |

Bump. I've been using Roger Kraus for years but they are closed for two weeks; I'm looking for someone open either this week or next. Anyone want to add any recent experiences? I was thinking of calling Auto Innovations.

AutoRND is closest to you, but only open weekdays. Best to call ahead to make sure they're open this week or next...

Also Custom Alignment in Mountain View.... around $200-$250 for an alignment, but man, they spent nearly 2 hours on my old E36 M3 and the car never handled better and kept tire wear to a minimum!

Are any of these shops open on weekends? I don't mind driving the distance to get there, I just hate having to take a day off from work.
