I don't have a good rec in SF, but as long as they use a nice newer hunter machine, you should be okay. Oh and look at something in the range of $70 unbundled for the alignment.

Where else can you go? Auto Plus $70 for four wheel alignment. ;) :)

You might try Big O tire.

Try to the get the alingment specs like this.

Front: Camber -1.5 degrees; Toe 0.0 to 1/16" toe out.

Rear: Toe 1/16"-1/8" toe in; Camber -1.5 degrees.

The toe out in front will make your car turn in much better and the toe in in the rear will help to stabilize the car.

If you want your car to be very stabile then have the front Toe set at 1/16" TOE IN.

No, toe in or toe out does not effect your tires! :rolleyes: :)

Neg/pos camber can. Neg camber gives you better grip!
