Default Concord Honda Aligment?

There is an alignment special for around $90 bucks currently at Concord Honda
I hate spending money at a stealership, is there a better place around the East Bay?

I don't really want to drive down 50 miles to Milpitas just for an alignment

Any advice appreciated
thanks

Trust me the drive to milpitas for auto innovations is well worth it. Let me know when you want to go bro and I will make the drive there with you. Im due for another alignment soon anyway. I would not take my s2000 to any stealership for an alignment.

Jimmy is dead right... I've been to damn near EVERY single @#$@#$#@ alignment shop in the bay area when my Old RSX LCA was f@#ked up and they all suck ass. The only place I'd recommend other than Auto Innovations is Motorsport Techniques in Hayward....and honestly...Orlando at Auto Innovations...is much better.

DO NOT GO TO THE FOLLOWING:
1. Wheel Works in Concord. (Destroyed 2 sets of my tires and lied to me about my specs)
2. Wheel Works in Walnut Creek (Left my Camber kit OFF! the car)
3. Alignment Services Walnut Creek ( Car NEVER went straight here and he was rude as f@#k)
4. Auto's International Concord (@#$#@$@#%Y)@#&%@# Gave me my car back with shit MISSING, blots loose, check engine light on, out of alignment, and body damage and 2 flat tires with nails)
5. Big O Tires Danville (Just some kids there...scratched my rims and alignment never held more than 1 week).
6. Big O Tires Walnut Creek ( Same thing as Danville)
7. California Auto's Walnut Creek (I got them shut down anyway).
8. German Auto Inc ( Guy there doesn't give a shit about anything other than BMW's really)

Big O Tires in Benicia installed my coilovers, and did my custom alignment. Still perfect 7 months later

Wow, Fujin has had a lion's share of bad allignment experiences.

I highly recommend Motorsport Techniques in Hayward. I only get my allignment done there, $80 + $10 if your car is lowered. They have LOOONG ramps so even if your car is slammed, like mine once was, you'll be okay. They'll even ask you how you want your setup to be, for performance, tire life, etc. I asked for my allignment to focus on tire wear last time, rolled prob 3K on my Potenza RE050 rears and the wear is even, and I had -3 degree camber. They do great work and you can check out all the JDM'd out rides the workers have parked outside, Silvias, Skylines, RX7s, etc. I've had my allignment done there probably three times already, very happy everytime.

I would suggest calling ahead and scheduling an appointment. They also do regular mechanic work so they can get busy since the shop is pretty small.

Do it!

Auto Innovations has probably done more alignments on s2k's than all of the other shops mentioned combined. Orlando is the only person that will touch my car when it comes to alignment.
