Guest Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Cliff notes: Need good alignment? Call Mike Sharpie at Direct Tire in Watertown to get alignment done by Andy. Great folks! Full version: So sadly I parted my ways with Fastrack Service shop in Peabody, MA after the fiasco with my SpecB arms they damaged (but fortunately replaced). Since I frequently tinker with suspension that put me on a search for another alignment shop. I am happy to report that I found one - Direct Tire in Watertown, MA - I received excellent service from these folks. The shop is recommended by Dentsport Garage. The person to talk to is Mike Sharpie (an Evo owner and a car enthusiast). The tech that worked on my car was Andrew and is not only a nice guy, but did superb alingment job on my car. Has many years of experience and it shows. In fact he knew how to extract more negative camber from my suspension (using stock bolts) than Fastrack could.

Underdog Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Bought and installed my summer tires with them back in '07. They were very professional and went out of their way to ensure me that my new rotas would not be harmed. I would definitely use them again if they weren't over an hour away!

BuruLGT Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 This is good to know as I'll be needing new tires mounted and an alignment come the spring. I'm right down the street in Brighton. Mind if I ask what they charged for an alignment (assuming you had nothing additional done)? I didn't see any prices on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 They charged me $80 for alignment. Although the have $25 off coupon on their website. I saw another customer, a savvy woman walk in with one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Do you have any alignment specs that you could recommend that would balance good handling with good tire wear? I just put coilovers on my wagon (kept near stock height) and need to get an alignment done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
