Alignment shops recommendation in Ontario/GTA Area.

Looking for an alignment shop that will take specific alignment setttings and troubleshoot not just say no we can't fix it. toe-out on one side of the rear suspension is out of alignment I had a similar problem before awhile back but I can't for the life of me remember the name of the shop I went to. I had a very similar problem before that the mechanics could not fix using conventional techniques. The suspension keep getting out of alignment. Finally they suggested welding (just tacking) the adjustment bolt in place and it worked perfectly.

So yeah just looking for a place with knowledgable staff.

I would suggest Scott @ Can-Alignment: Can-Alignment

I have had my car aligned there twice, once on stock suspension and another time after I went with coil-overs. Both times it was a great improvement and Scott knows what he is doing. He can also suggest some setups based on the driving you do.

Ditto on Can-Alignment, Scott does great work.

Better book him if you are serious as he's an extremely busy guy!

^^lol, that's what I do too. Also recently tried using a measuring tape and just using certain tire treads as reference points...seemed to work pretty well. But the mighty string alignment has never failed!

Can-alignment is the very best up here! Scott is awesome. He has done a few cars for me now. If you want it done right go see him.

I tried a few other places up here in Scarborough and they were garbage. Had no idea what they were doing. (not going to say the name though).
