Local Alignment Performance Shop in VA.... PTuning

[GTLaser]

Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a great performance shop I found in Manassas, VA., P Tuning. It is a little far for us MD folks but they have a ground level alignment rack that can do lowered cars. I know a few of us out there have lowered our cars and need something specific in order to get on a rack. They spent a few hours aligning the car perfectly on all four corners and it was SUPER affordable! I took a tour of the shop and saw their enclosed Dyno and they also are equipped with a tire mounting machine that is specific for larger wheels ( I was told they mount FOW clients larger/boutique wheels ). Cool thing is while I was waiting I played Playstation and watched part of a movie in their lounge area, there is also a snack/soda machine, really cool set up. Not to mention everyone there knows their stuff. If you decide to contact them ask for Mike, he was a huge help. www.ptuning.com (not affiliated in anyway)

Good to know Mark...I'll be using them when I get my new wheels/tires to make sure the alignment is okay.

Well that worked out, I was getting on here to ask for recommendations on an alignment in NoVA. My car leans a little to the left. I'll call Mike today, thanks!

Everyone there is super friendly and patient, knowing car enthusiast can be a bit anal at times, so I wouldn't worry about that. There are two younger guys who work the front and they both were able to get questions answered and kept it a very smooth experience. Haven't actually met Mike but we have exchanged a handful of emails, he is usually not around when I go in, Friday or Saturday. PM me and I'll send over his email contact.

Alignment guy came out and we set it up close to stock for tire wear purposes but also a little more aggressive on the camber side so I wouldn't rub as much. When these cars are off all hell can break loose but when they are set up right it's a totally different car.

Yeah, I'm very anal about my alignments. I once took my 66 Mustang in just for a toe adjustment after swaping front tire size on a perfectly setup performance alignment. The guy, Leo, took my car from -3 camber to stock which was like -.5 left and 0 right and removed all my positive caster to account for road crown. Later that day I took off for a 4k mile road trip and the car followed every rut and was scarey to drive, I was not happy.

Yours sounds like specs I'm aiming for. Neg camber for cornering and conservative toe for steering. I appreciate the recommendation, couldn't have come at a better time.
