Well that idea didn't turn out so well. Dropped car off @ 4:30 and they peeled/screaped it off lift @ 8:00 (Closing time) Not sure if they had time to finish as the gentlemen were eager to leave. Gave them 2 new tires and 4 like new OEM rims. When I got the car, it had 3 fronts on it and 1 rear and I had the opposite handed to me. The annoying part was the amount of grease/brake dust finger prints scattered all across the car in multiple areas including my driver seat. The manager did offer me a deal for the trouble. anywho, I told them the wheel was titled slightly left, now it is slightly tilted right and I don't think I have ever felt a worse ride in my car. As if one or more wheels are not balanced correctly, bouncy @ 16mph, 40mph, and 66mph+.

Just venting because I will have to return the car today for the fixings. Spoke to a fellow friend who is not nearly as nice as me and he was pissed straight off from the story. He was like 'I would jump all in the service managers $#!^

 

You actually trusted people who work at tire kingdom (Ryan excluded since he owns one and knows about them) sorry to hear they messed the car up. What all did you have them do?

 

I get cars here at the dealer all the time with complaints of vibrations after having tires installed at tire kingdom.

 

I never go to tk. In Miami they sucked too.

 

sucks to hear. I never buy my tires from them, just my alignment packages. Besides the one Ryan works at, the Ponte Vedra TK is good. I forget the kids name but there is an asian guy that takes real good care of the car and sets it up nice.

 

damn =(

 

Tires are ordered online from tire-rack. I just had them install 4 tires (2 new fronts and 2 existing rear) on 4 new rims and give me a stock alignment with the exception of -1.8 rear camber.

Well I'm open to suggestions for quality alignment shops that can also fix my crooked steering wheel. I am headed there now to talk to them about reimbursement since my car cannot go on their alignment rack without scraping.

 

when i go to places like these i stand in the garage and talk shop with the tech on my car, they seem to do a better job that way.

 

I've had really good experience with World Imports. They are used to working with small/import/expensive/race inspired cars that require custom alignments. They will do whatever specs you want, within reason.

 

BTW, found a place to perform Corner Balancing. Riggins Engineering off Hammond BLVD. $50/hr doesnt seem so bad unless I want to severely change my ride height while on scales.
