Ivan is the best in the business. True class act and honest mechanic! He loves to make jokes and lighten up the mood too which is amazing. One of the few great mechanics left who truly has respect for his craft. He knows suspensions inside out. He doesn t try to sell you things you don t need and always recommends what s best for your vehicle. Glad to have met him this past year and never taking any of my fleet to anyone but him. Strongly recommend!

Ivan took my Volvo first thing in the morning. Nothing wrong in particular but with my OCD I needed someone to tell me I was crazy and that my car was fine after hitting some nasty potholes. Ivan had it checked out and showed me the metrics and BOOM sure enough I was crazy. hahaha great shop great guy. Will be back and will recommend for sure. Two thumbs up!

Went to Ivan to do a ball joint and tie rod change along with an alignment due to a squeaking noise. I couldn't believe they got it finished and aligned in 20 minutes flat. Drove home and heard the squeak come back and bought it back to Ivan he spent a few moments diagnosing and found out my struts were eating away at my leveling kit. Ivan ordered my new struts and swapped them quicker than I can drive there. Not to mention he called when I got home to check how everything was. Hands down best mechanic I've dealt with! Thanks Ivan!

22 ZL1 1LE, I had Ivan install a few BMR suspension pieces and do an alignment. I could not be happier. He takes pride in his work and is a perfectionist. Super down to earth and will explain everything he s doing. I ve been looking for a reliable alignment shop and finally found it. I ll be taking all my cars to him and can t recommend him enough. Thank you Ivan!

Followed Ivan on Instagram a while back and saw that he is always working on sportier cars and installing performance parts in them, not to mention his own built rx-7 to show his knowledge and skill about sports/race cars. That gave me confidence to go in for an install of SPL front upper control arms on my 350z. Was installed within an hour what would have taken myself probably 5-6! It was clear when I got there that Ivan is very knowledgeable about performance cars with the way he talks about recommending parts. The advice and recommendations he gave me about parts showed me he doesn't want you to waste money but get the best parts for your specific applications, and to make it as easy as possible to make adjustments.The install of the upper control arms was followed by an alignment which Ivan is a master of, got my specs exactly where I wanted and even took in account the settling of the suspension after the car will be driven for a bit with the new part. Extremely professional!Overall, was very happy with my experience and would definitely go back for an alignment or performance parts installs! Highly recommend.Service: Wheel alignment

Simply put I was recommended Ivan from a handful of people who spend good money on what matters most when modifying their cars. I could not be happier with the customer service as well as the actual outcome of my car. Ivan didn t just mount/balance/align my car. He measured my car for ride height (as I m on air suspension) and reset the presets for my e-level controller for a perfect fitment. For anyone who is in the market for tires/alignment you should not think twice about heading down to Ivan s. You will not be disappointed one bit.

Went to Ivan s for an alignment and he pointed out some issues I was having with my control arm. Told me to order a new one and to come back. He tweaked my alignment before I left so I wouldn t run into any issues! Great shop !

Great service. I went there in 2019 with my Tesla Model 3 to install springs and do the alignment. Let's just say it's 2023 now and this thing is still perfectly aligned. With these roads here in NJ it's a miracle. Customer for life.

Went to Ivan for a camber alignment after installing coilovers on my Outlander Sport. He was nothing but helpful, nice and got the job done in a timely manner. I highly recommend this place if you're doing or want suspension work done. I will be referring family and friends!Service: Steering & suspension repairService: Steering & suspension repair

Don t go anywhere else except for Ivan s for wheel alignments and suspension. He is a master at fitment and getting your car dialed in perfectly. Best customer service too! No funny business he is the best. I won t go anywhere else. He can also get wheels and tires for you too! Call him or dm him. You won t regret it.

Best suspension shop in NJ hands down. Ivan has worked on my Evo and now my STI. My Evo had just about every single bushing and suspension modification you could throw at it. The car handled like an absolute monster. Now Ivan has recently installed coilovers and control arms as a baseline on my STI and the car handles so much better. Right now I'm running -1.8 camber front and rear, 0 toe up front and slight negative toe in the rear. Dropped roughly an inch for AutoX. Waiting on my wheels to come in to do a final adjustment. If your looking for that extra special touch on your alignment or looking for quick quality installs, Ivan is the go to for suspension.

Ivan is absolutely phenomenal at what he does. I was referred to his shop by a friend after installing new suspension on my Shelby. Ivan is fast, precise, and efficient. I m a former auto technician and can say, he really knows his craft well. He s also just an overall nice guy, and a pleasure to chat with. Book with confidence.

Ivan s is easily the best shop in the area to take your car for anything suspension or alignment related. He is very knowledgeable and straightforward when it comes to discussing your car s needs. Him and Jose installed the coilovers on my car and aligned it with no issues at all. If you need suspension work, this is the place to go

Great experience no complaints. I was asked a couple of questions about my driving habits and what are my expectations with the new suspension setup, couple of hours later jobs done, asked me come back after 500 miles for a second alignment, 500 miles later I returned ivan asked if i had any questions/did I hear any noises, and he even offered to re-adjust the ride height. Couldn t be happier with the results. Thanks again I d highly recommend this place.

Best Alignments in the Tri-State area without a doubt. I had received so many recommendations to come visit Ivan's alignments from friends, I had a feeling he would do a top quality job. He exceeded my expectations and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. They were extremely punctual with my appointment time as well. Thank you!Service: Wheel alignment

Recently wanted to upgrade my suspension and alignment and with some help of some friends it wasn t quite right. So I took my m3 to Ivan and he took care of everything in no time. My car has never driven so well and I will definitely be back with any other cars I have. Also a very friendly and professional as well. Took his time to let me know what was wrong and checked all the suspension components that may have needed to be replaced.

I've been coming to Ivan ever since I moved up to north jersey in 2019. He really does care about his customers and the people who come to him for help. He's not pushy and constantly trying to talk you into unnecessary work or parts, and actually listens to you when you have concerns or questions. I can whole heatedly recommend that anyone looking for suspension related work, come to Ivan.Services: Tires, Steering & suspension repair, Tire rotations, Wheel alignment

I would highly recommend visiting Ivan for any wheel alignment needs. He s honest, legit, and reasonable. I took my X1 to him instead of the dealership and was highly satisfied. When I recently got new tires, I wanted to ensure everything was good since the last time. And because of his great work previously, the alignment was still good for it and graciously said not to worry about a service fee since all was good even after he raised my car for a quick inspection.

Also the new suspension on my car needed to be adjusted to meet my driving needs This is where Ivan shines.With his knowledgeable background and his (unique) driver consultation will help Ivan to determine the driver's overall expectations . Appointments required on weekdays.First come/first serve on weekends

Brought in my track mustang for alignment and corner balance after installing coilovers. Got lucky and it was already very well balanced, so I was advised against spending the extra money. Have to respect a shop that won't take your money unnecessarily.Alignment is spot on and feels great. I'd send anyone to Ivan's, no hesitation.Service: Wheel alignment

This is the BEST shop in the area . I had shocks installed over two years ago on my Jeep Wrangler . There was an issue with one of them ( completely my fault, hit a huge pothole). I brought it in to the shop , mind you TWO years later , and Ivan rectified the problem FREE OF CHARGE . Talk about a true professional who truly cares about his clients and their vehicles . Wouldn t trust my Jeep with anyone else .

Ivan did an amazing job installing aftermarket UP camber arms on my Tesla Model S and aligning it. I called several shops that were closer to me and all were too intimidated to work on a Tesla. Ivan has tons of experience with Tesla s, works fast, and produces great results for a reasonable price.

Perfect Alignment!!! as it came from the factory. Steering wheel is straight. The car goes straight. I'm very sensitive to the steering wheel. it has to be straight when I drive. I'm so happy with the service. I will never go back to the dealer to mess with my car again. Oh, he is an expert on Alignment. I mean really really expert.thank you Ivan!

Couldn't be happier with Ivan and his team. Professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Their shop has the latest tech and they we're able to get my alignment done on my customized suspension in less than 45 minutes. As others mentioned, it's worth the trip to see them and get the best out of your car. I couldn't recommend them enough.

Ivan and his team are true professionals with high level of customer service. Brought my F80 M3 for lowering springs and after a few years of ownership I am now in love with my car again! Great pricing and completed within timely manner. 5 stars!
