BS.. -_-
My car still not ready.. How long does it take to have a vehicle cleanup after a body work finish?
Right now they already cleaned my car for 2-3 days and still not "ready". They said they have to buff to remove scratches and etc.
Realistically, does it really take 2-3 days to do a vehicle clean up?

Would you rather have them take their time to fix everything or rush it to be imperfect?

Thing is... Does it really take 12+ hours to do a vehicle cleanup? Mine has been delay after delays...
They claim they have to clean interior, buff exterior, and wash the car.... But 12+ hours... Foreal?

I love my Borla. I wanted something that would help wouldn't get too loud when cruising. I've got a Rev Works header and Invidia front pipe now and the Borla keeps the drone pretty much nonexistent.

hey hey guys.

Can anyone recommend me a good alignment shop around Columbia, MD area that can align to my desired specification? I know PTuning is a great place, but it's just way too far for me.

These folks are close by but last time I checked alignment was like $250+ LOL.

There is also

http://www.4induktion.com/index.htm

I think @Pure Automotive does mounting not sure if he does alignment services as well but def give him a shout first as he a forum sponsor.

I can't find anything around Columbia that will do that. I was told to go to IAG in westminster. Www.iagperformance.com. they are a liitle far out. But they will get your alignment to exactly what you want for $99. They are pretty busy. I called them two weeks ago and my appointment is not till next Wednesday.

@kanundrum Ehh.. $250 for alignment? lol
I've been to 4 induktion several times, but they send cars to other shops for alignment. I'm assuming same for pure automotive since I didn't see alignment rack there.

iag... full of wrx tunerheads haha. They are a bit far from my location.

Since you are coming down for our Dyno day I am sure we can fit you in for alignment as well. Might as well kill 2 birds with one stone.

We offer Laser Alignment and can dial in any spec you would like with of course limitation of your alignment setup.

Give us a call if you want to schedule anything.
