Default ALIGNMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

Hey whats up guys. just wanted to find out what shops can do alignments. Any recommendations?

Well it all started on my way to school, i slid into a curb like 5mph in my Daily driver (Civic Hatch) and hit my right front tire. After a few minutes, i notice that my car was not steering as well. When i go straight, i have to steer slightly to the left.

Any tire shop should be able to align the car so it drives straight. Search this site for more details if you want a (more expensive) performance alignment. But first, check the suspension. It could be that the alignment bolts just gave way, or it coule be that you have bent the suspension arms and have more work to do than just an alignment.

The dealer. Usually around $80. Curbs like to bend lower control arms and tie rods; hope it's not the case for you.

^^Like mentioned above, something could be bent, could be anything from the hub,spindle,tie rod, control arm. I'd recommend you get your suspension checked out first considering civics has only toe adjustments. So if you get the toe set and it still pulls, I'm almost positive that something will be bent. I know from experience because I do alignments everyday at work.
