4 wheel alignment, regularly $89.95, for the summer of '10, $74.95

Really good deal, we have an excellent machine, no wires, very prescise, and we know how to use it.  We are not on flat rate either, so we can do a proper job and not be forced to "beat" a time.

If you book for mon-friday, I can do the work on your car myself if you want me to.  Saturdays it will be someone else, but they have been working with that machine longer than me.

If you have custom specs you want, just be sure that is what you want, write it down and bring it in and we/I will do our best to achieve those specs for you.  Of course, within the limits of the adjustment hardware on the car.

not just DSMs/Colts/Galants/Evos either, if you are a member, you are welcome at this price.

And good freinds too, no problem, but you do have to be acually affiliated with BCDSM.  My boss is doing this for me because I asked and wanted to pass some deals on to the club.

some things might be extra, such as if something is really seized and we spend way more time than normal on it.  Still within reason tho, that part is not there to hose people, its just to keep things real as it were.

Arvids automotive, Garden St, Abbotsford, BC.  Jim is the owner, or Kieth, the service writer.  604-850-6649

It's nice to know a shop will entertain custom alignment specs. So many shops won't do this, and their targets are so damn vague within mfr specs that a proper alignment on a Dodge Ram 4x4 is still crap with the large tolerances they allow.

Wish I had a few bucks to align the Quattro but it also needs a control arm bushing and I'm just not prepared to rip into it yet.

I'll be by to see you at some point, but like Kris I'm replacing bushings/ball joints soon, so really no point yet.
Still waiting on some of those M parts to come in too.

cool, make an appointment and ask for me, if you want me to do it.

Have all appropriate parts replaced, and if you can, free up the rear adjustments for toe and camber.  That can save you lots of money and make sure I can get it as close to spec as possible.  you have access to a hoist and heat/penetrating oil, so get it done  Smiley  Hit the front tie rods too so I know I can spend as much time on actually adjusting it as possible.

For people who can't do this, its ok, but for Marks high mileage car, and he has access to a shop, this will be a good idea.

Also, if you have adjustable ride height, make sure its where you want it or you will have to do it again after.  Even a wee bit of height change can affect toe a great deal and toe is the angle that wears tires.
