I can appreciate paying money for quality work but $170 is absurd.

With 18" wheels & and a drop, you don't need the Euro alignment. You want as much rubber on the pavement as possible so go with the camber kit on the rear and oem specs, your tires will last much longer. $170.=

If I may say so; Silvershadow,Gloffer,Rfever,l8brkr,splndid, etc. may say that alignment makes all the difference in an auto-x tournament. Especially when I adjust the ride height with your designated weight in the vehicle. I would say that for daily driving on a nice crowded city freeway maybe you would not get your money's worth. If you drive 2 hours to see me, or take your vehicle cross country to race. I would assure you that you would get what you payed for. Your opinion is always welcome. Some people just have a different value of service than others. If you can find the same service for cheaper with the same or better service than I would definitely recommend you take your vehicle there. I will always give the best service possible. If there are objections to my service I am always willing to listen on critism and suggestions.

I only trust Cesar with my car's alignment. It makes ALL the difference in how the car handles ... especially with the amount of track time the car sees. I like to have full confidence in my car when I'm driving around the circuit at over 120+. Last thing I want to have happen is having the car toe out due to a loose alignment bolt. I know that Cesar will double and triple check the settings before he declares the alignment done. The reason why it costs a little more is because of how precise he gets the measurements to be. I ask for a certain setting and he gets it dead on. And I mean DEAD ON. He *will* spend the time to make it perfect. Plus the more you go to him, the better he gets to know you and what you'd like to get out from the car. He will cater the settings to your personal preference. For piece of mind, I go to Cesar because if anything goes wrong, I know he will back his work up 100%. If you find someone that will take care of you for your needs, by all means take it there. I'm just relaying my personal experiences and they've all been outstanding. Thanks for all the help Cesar!

Like I said, no doubt Cesar does the best job - just think it's pricey. I've paid it before and will pay it again - he's the only one I want touching my cars...

Thanks for everyone chiming in here. For the record, my car will likely be seeing zero track time. Im just looking for an alignment that wont roast my tires in 3k miles. If I tracked the car Cesar sounds like the one and only guy to goto, though this really is not the case for me.
