Do you ever make your way south to Miami-Dade?

Alignment for a street car doesnt happen very often so you should consider driving an hour to get it done. If your car is a project start doing string/level alignments yourself. I used to drive from West Palm to Vero because i couldnt find anyone in PBC.

I've actually had good results at Tire Kingdom in W. Delray and at Discount Tire in Lake Worth.

looking for one in Miami-Dade, I went to Apex Alignment in Homestead. It was good but the guy is hard to reach over the phone and he only does appointments.

I havent found a good place Id trust my s2k with in PBC. I take my car to a friend in Miami to do the work but plan on taking it to Apex in Miami next. They are highly recommended even with the long drive south

Just went and saw Albert at Apex on Saturday, and the service and price was as good as ever. Keep in mind that $80 for an S2000 alignment is CHEAP, because these cars can be a real pain in the ass to align unless you know what you're doing. Albert has aligned countless street/track S2000s over the years, and will not only set your car up based on your feedback (how the car is used, what you prefer as a driver, etc), but will help you understand how each change to the suspension will affect the way the car drives. Additionally, if he spots something underneath the car that isn't right, he'll let you know about it and will offer suggestions on how to get it fixed. For $80, you're not going to have a better alignment experience if you own an S2000.

+1 for Albert. Although he gets grumpy doing the alignment on my car because it has a body kit and the panels gets in the way of adjusting the camber.

Yeah, but your car is so clean his hands don't get dirty when he aligns it, so it's a wash haha
