The only place I trust is Group 2 Motorsports in Seattle. I've gone to a few of the other hot shops in the past, & almost stuffed my car into the wall in turn 2 @ Pacific due to a poor wheel alignment. The trusted shop did toe out in the rear of my E30 M3.

Unhappy

I guess I would need to consider them if I found no other options that are closer to my area.

Someone posted this place previously, but no one answer the call when I called today.

An old post also shows Tru-line, are they any good?

Byron at TruLine in Bellevue does amazing work, and definitely worth the drive for a good alignment. Just because an alignment is within specs doesn't make it a good alignment.

A shop that autocrossers use is Clark's Wheel Alignment in Kirkland. 425-821-8304. Have not used them personally, but have heard good things from those that have.

Can't go wrong with Trueline....Byron will does a outstanding job and corner balance. Stands behind his work.

Went to Truline @ Belleuve, and I received excellent service from Byron Tale.
Thanks everyone for the recommendations and helps.

+1 on Group 2. They are the only shop I allow to work on my car.

Group 2 is normally closed on Saturdays, but I've driven by and found Chris working on a Saturday before.

I used Tru-Line when I first got my car. He seems very knowledgable. His shop is filled with Porsche race-ready cars so...
