Try Alignment speciality company in Brookline.


I had a Honda that was driving really squirrely. Two computer alignment places could not make it track correctly. The last one suggested that the whole body of the car was bent.

In desperation, and because I was driving by, I gave alignment speciality a try. He spend about an hour with the car and found a bent spindle. Less than than having the body of the car straigtened by far. I was very impressed.

It does matter....if you've done it before you'd know that NOT everyone uses the computers...and that some places are much more accurate than others

even with computers.....there is a point where the machine willl give the green light and say ok, and there are mechanics, such as fabrizio at EF1(shameless plug for my buddy) who will spend the extra time to get the numbers as close to each other left/right as possible.
