I went there after Firestone couldn't figure out why my front passenger wheel is out of camber. The owner inspected it and told me the problem is a worn out or broken rear spring across from the misaligned wheel. He told me he'd like me to come back to he can make sure the issue is fixed. I have replaced the springs myself and went back by his request expecting him to rightfully charge me. The problem was indeed fixed and I wasn't charged a dime. I wouldn't have been able to figure this out myself and wouldn't mind being charged for the expertise. It just shows the commitment and passion of the business owner towards his craft and the customers beyond financial gains. Will definitely make it my main alignment shop in the future and will praise it and recommend it to everyone that needs one.Service: Wheel alignment

I got the flyers they pass out at the car shows and got the oil change with the Jeffie Lube filter and they welded the rockers arm, so I get better gas milage. They also said I needed a new camshaft, so I got that too. Mikey Salazar was very warm and very friendly.

I highly recommend this place for all of your suspension needs! Mark and his team did a phenomenal job helping me dial in my fitment with my new coilovers! They also adjusted my camber, and ride height. My car handles like a dream! Thanks again guys! You've gained a repeat customer!

Best place to bring your VW. Great guys, salt of the Earth! Straight shooters with great respect for your vision. Mark Salazar always has great ideas and won't hesitate to advise you. He has a lot of experience and will do right by your 4-wheeled baby.

My car was rocking so I came in to have it looked at. They told me I needed new springs. but, this being a new car I thought I would take it to the dealer and maybe it would be under warrantee. Tarbaby shop didn't charge me and told me to come back. The dealer said it wasn't covered and to go to Firestone so I went there. They told me the spring rubber seat was cut and was inexpensive to replace. The bouncing problem was a bad tire leaking air. I'm glad I didn't pay twice and would go back to Tarbaby shop for oil change! LGBTQService: Steering & suspension repair

Let's put it like this I just made a new friend I'm sure you would too. He did a four wheel alignment on my 04 Lancer Ralliart at a very affordable and desent cost. Remember early bird first come first served.

Great place and great owner. If you have a classy ride take it there but he works on modern rides too. He did wonders on my 1983 VW rabbit gti.

This is the place! I went to a many different alignment shops for my lifted Subaru and they all said they wouldn t be able to align my car. One shop even aligned my car, only for it to still have positive camber and an off-centered wheel. These guys fixed my car right up, and my car is driving better than ever! Prices also better than most competitors. Highly recommend

For the past 10 years it has been worth my time to always go out of my way to take in my cars to get fixed here I'm treated like family and always satisfied with the service. Never overcharged or unsatisfied with their work. Integrity at a fair price. Love these guys!!!

Called this place the day before I went there. Was told they are first come, first serve and to be there early to be taken early. Showed up at 7:40 parked off the main street and waited. And waited. And waited. I must have called five times between 8:00am and 8:25am attempting to ask how this will work and where I should wait. There was no answer, the place wasn't open yet. Finally at 8:27am the front door is opened and I go in and am met with a simple, "what model car you have?" No apology for opening a half hour late, no acknowledgement of me waiting for near an hour. He told me he needed me to move my car, so he could move TWO cars out of the way so I could pull mine in. Fine, I'm already here and want my alignment done, so I pull around the side street and wait an additional 15 mins and he never came over to get my car or let me know what's going on. I finally leave at 8:45am, accomplishing nothing and seeing he still didn't move the two cars on the outside. Doesn't matter how well you do an alignment, your treatment of a customer was horrific. Don't recommend stepping foot in the place.

Very helpful and friendly. Very affordable. They took me in right away and my car was ready within an hour for an alignment. I had to pick up at a later time and they offered to wait if i didnt make it before them closing. Very thoughful! Thanks guys!

To start off this was my first time going to this place, it is a very small location nowhere really to park. The owner of this location is a complete jerk, telling me to move out of his driveway and I should never block his garage entry way. He did not even give me a chance to come out of my car and check in with him. So I came out of my car and told the owner is this how you treat new customers. I was referred by 2 people that i know. Not a very good referral would not recommend his work place to anybody very rude to new customers. I ended up going to just tires they did a complete wheel alignment and I was very satisfied with their work and it is guaranteed for 1 year. They even rotated my tires at no charge, sometimes it's better to pay a little extra for better service.

Set up an appointment with Mark and he had the vehicle finished ahead of schedule. He's a master of his craft, reasonable, honest and friendly. I would highly reccomend using him for any alignment or steering work. He'll definitely have me as a customer again the future.

These guys are such a class act! I came in panicked was having so many issues w my alignment and needed tie rods these guys molded it into place so it was safe to drive until my apt that Friday and genuinely cared about my problem. Such kind hearts and great service. Go here!!

A quirky little guy with a great personality who loves collecting rolling memorabilia. No one better for alignments and front end work around. Is the Gordon Ramsay of suspension without the attitude!

They helped me out with my free estimate with my vehicle. And they do great alignments at affordable prices. They are one of the best places to go to for your mechanical needs.

Brought in my Honda with no appointment and staff seemed nice enough, albeit a little rushed. I must have given him the impression I did not know much about cars because on my return I was quoted a $2k bill but "I could bring in my own parts" to lower the cost. I went underneath my car with him and went down his suggested repairs and one by one showed him where he was wrong and at the end was laughed at and told 'when you have been doing this as long as I have you can tell me I am wrong.' Thanks, but no thanks.

Took my truck in for an allignment and the workers said the hold front end needed to be rebuilt and they wouldn't touch it. I go and and pick it up and was told they have it out for a test drive...funny how that was after they said they couldn't work on the truck and a worker came back with his lunch!! Do yourself a favor and find a better shop, I did and the other shop completed the the allignment with all the same parts they said needed replacement. These guys are spoiled and won't look at a rusty part. Newsflash were in the Midwest!!

Great guys, Mark figured out my noisy driver side suspension issue with a quick test drive and went ahead and fixed it very quickly! Recommend give them a call for any noisy suspension and alignment.
