Arrow My car is pulling to the right

Well It appears my s2000 is now pulling to the right slightly after the incident with the dog :-( I tested it the other day going down the road, and every time I straitened it out it would slowly creep to the right, and about 10 seconds later be in the next lane.

Anyone know of a good mechanic that can take care of this in the St Pete/Tampa area?

Alignments sounds out of wack. I get all my work done at 2nrwerks and his prices are good.

I did try calling them, but I got voicemail yesterday and again left a message today.

Check tire pressures.

check your tire pressure first because countless people have had the car pull under different circumstances because of tire pressure being off.

But otherwise it's your allignment. Go to 2nrwerks for that. Great guys.

Funny everytime I really get on mine my frontend lifts up and the car pushes to the left. Probably not the same problem.

Like everyone else said. Tire pressure then Alignment.

You'd be amazed how much a good alignment can do.

Just make sure you go to a good place. 2NRWerks should fit the bill.

Well I tried going to 2NRWerks today after calling them yesterday and being told they can do it. I met Tod and Rob at quaker steak last night, and they said to come by arround noon. I was there at 12:30 (had to get out of work), and I find out the fact they do not have the test equipment to align the car, but they use the guy next door for that, and he is not able to do it then.

Rob says to come back in about 2 hours, so I say I'll be back at 2:30PM. Well I show up at 2:30 and no one is there, so i call and left a message. At 2:50 I left since no one is showing up.

It's 4:30 now and I still have not got a phone call from anyone.

So is there another place that is competent and reliable that has the proper test equipment and can align my car? I need to get this done this weekend, since I will have to drive up to Orlando and Apoka next week. If i have to I'll just go back to the dealer and have them do it.
