Looking for an Alignment shop
Smart Service doesn't do alignments and Mike wouldn't recommend the shop they use for SVX's.
I've tried Les Schwab, but they told me some bs that the camber isn't adjustable. Right now I have a slight pull to the left that is really noticeable on cruddy roads. I really don't want to drive to BC just to get a good alignment. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I asked Carter's Subaru and they recommended a shop for SVX alignment in Seattle, too bad I don't remember which one.

I was very pleased with the alignment I had done on my SVX by Andrew Morrison @ Speedware Motorsports:
http://www.speedwaremotorsports.com/ Andrew handled installation and balancing of my OE wheels after I had them chromed and did the alignment. I recommend his shop. |

I had the local dealership in Burlington do mine. I was very pleased at the job they did. Skagit Subaru.

Finally tried Speedware Motorsports for an alignment on my 94. Awesome work. Very friendly. Prices for the alignment are a little high compared to Les Schwab, but considering that these guys do high performance vehicles and exotics, and they know what they are talking about, I don't mind the $20 difference.
5 stars!

Hey thanks for the review! I'll have to go check them out for alignment. With my after market wheels its very shaky at about 55-70mph. I have all the wheels balanced and i have hub rings to soften it, but not much help. Thanks Again!
