Are you just having trouble getting on the ramp.

A local midas has the alignment ramps where its long so even low cars can go up.

Your front lip looks about as low as mine. Just a tad under 5 inches from ground to my front lip.

Btw, your garage looks awesome.

I can roll onto the ramp but its the edge of the ramp that goes up and the laser can't hit my wheel because cars lower than the edge ramp...hard to explain but the guy gave me another BP place to try and if doesn't work then I'll go else where...Just trying to get some idea as to where I can go if it doesn't work tmrw.

Sure bring em and make sure its wings n beer Cause you know what Funkflex says if you aint got wings, beer and bitchz..you nothing!

On a more serious note, I'm really not the owner of the space, I own the things in it but that does not give me the right to using it how I want to. To takes things further I'm moving out soon so I'll start packing everything up after new years. Sux I really love this garage.

I went to buy an air compressor along with a few tools and tons of small bullshit items all the way to pipes and bolts. I'm rolling it all on a huge 10foot bed and the compressor box is on the bottom. I roll up to the cash mistress and she just starts talking away, chat chat chat chat and not to seem rude I entertain it.

Drum roll...she forgets to scan the compressor box and rings me up.

Like a moron I'm looking at the total and saying to her must be a big savings day today and she has no idea what i'm talking about and continues to chat away.

The security check it all man at the door out checks my receipt and my goods...drum roll...says have a good day and lets me out. HOW! the box is huge but whatever!

Oh I know Tonny, I didn't know he did alignments I have the impression he just did body work. By the way if anyone is looking for bodywork in NJ Tonny is THE GUY you should find, he can make anything happen and his quality is amazing. I recently saw his SEMA cars, probably the best paint and body work I've ever seen. I"ll give him a call, thanks for the lead Chrism1

i'm surprised they had problems getting that on the ramp.

i go to america's tire, formerly old bridge tire down in (you guessed it) old bridge, nj. it is really central jersey, around exit 9 off the tp. i also live in north nj and haven't found a good shop up here.

i have aftermarket ruca, rear toe, rear traction, front t/c, inner and outer tie, and dual camber adjustable coilovers on my 240sx. they had no problems getting my car on the ramp, even with a lip (which might be 2 - 2.5 inches off the ground tops), and they knew how to set alignment without asking me which arm was for what and how to set camber on the front. they also use the laser thinger to set alignment. i highly reccomend them.
